Same rock, New name

Good Boy Rocks. That is the new name for an old friend. These rocks were successful in getting Maysen potty trained and so far they're paying off in teaching him patience, savings, and reward! Whenever Maysen is "good" (ie: feeding the dog without being asked, putting his plate/bowl up on the counter when done, picking up his room, making his bed, etc) he earns a "good boy rock". When he has saved a certain amount (ie: 5 for minibag of M&Ms), then he gets to cash them in.

He also loses rocks for bad behavior. A couple of weeks ago, he went "surfing" on his train table. That broke the boards in the middle, so he got grounded from his table. Out it in went to the garage and we had on devastated little boy. However, when he was told if he saved 10 "good boy rocks" he could cash them in and Daddy would fix his table, the lightbulb went off. Well, tonight it was achieved! He has been cashing in his rocks for M&Ms until it clicked one day and he started saving them to get his table back. Tonight, he jumped up after dinner, put his plate on the counter and ran to get Bay's food. He came back and said, "I earned 2 more rocks, now I will have 10!" Earlier today we counted his rocks, and he came up with needing only 2 more (good Math lesson!) to get his table back. I currently hear "CHOO - CHOOoooooo" coming from a happy (good!) boy's room....
