"THE" Pink Cowboy Hat....

There is a time and place for bribery with children. Tessa has been working on bedtime for a LONG time, she likes to get out of bed many times before she finally goes down for the night. From the sounds of it from my mom, she comes by this honestly! She has had some success with charts, so our next step....work toward a reward..... Here was the "Deal":

If Tess had successful bedtimes for 4 nights in a row she could earn a reward.... We asked her what she would like, her reply without missing a beat....was "A Pink Cowboy Hat"!

Time marched on and we continued to work on this. Well, in perfect Tessa style, like many things, SHE decided she was going to do it, and she did! In turn She reminded us that she was due for a "Pink Cowboy Hat". It was all she talked about, all day! I told her we would go shopping for one the next day.... Before that day could come....DADDY was the HERO!

He came home from work with a bag from ....none other than the Western Store! This is perfectly "Kevin" style.....anthing for his girls! Her eyes were so wide with delight! So pleased! The best part, she wears it a lot.....Even better....her bedtimes have been awesome.

What a way to solve the problems of the world....All you need is a pink cowboy hat and a smile!!
