Oh, to think we were worried that 14 weeks would be too long! Tonight was a delicious dinner of steamed green beans, meat loaf, corn bread and mac and cheese from Boston Market. Sometimes it is really great to have someone else choose dinner because you get things that you normally wouldn't. I haven't had meat loaf from anywhere but my friend SG in years! I usually get mashed potatoes and gravy but the green beans were delicious.
The "warm up" tonight was coming up with something free that the family could do with every letter of the alphabet. We started very poorly (couldn't come up with anything that started with "a"). By the end of the evening we were only missing--A, F, I, U, X, and Z. The family time tonight was making a chart of behaviors we want MAC to do in the next week and a potential list of rewards she can earn by doing them. She choose rewards such as an extra hour of TV, Glee day, watch "on demand" with parents, and a computer hour.
It was refreshing that she didn't ask for expensive items. When I asked her if she hadn't included any more expensive items on the list because she really wanted to spend more time together or if she just didn't think about them, she said time together was much more fun than another Wii game.
Next week is week 6 and our second set of incentives. She is really looking forward to going shopping at Best Buy with enough money to buy any game she wants.
