Wade and I decided to plan out all of this year’s projects. There are lots of fancy computer programs, but we find ourselves using our old familiar system of a board and notecards. This time Wade wanted a reward system. Each project has a certain number of points based on how long it takes to complete and how much he has to be “enticed” to do it. I can add points if I want it to move up on the list. Then we created a list of things he can turn in points for: banana pudding, a weekend up North, a night of bowling, a new desk lamp, etc. So far it seems to be working, Wade is moving through the projects. I’m not sure what he’s hoarding his points for though. He has only redeemed the banana pudding.
