Soccer Ball

We have been trying something new with Finn. We want to be sure and praise him when he is good and encourage him to be good. Anyone who has had a two year old knows that two is a challenge. He is independent and strong willed. We don't want to break that. We want to embrace it. We started using stickers as a reward. He earned ten stickers and then got to go to Academy and pick out a soccer ball.

Here he is after we bought it...

He was very proud...

We got to go to the park and kick it around. He does very good kicking it. He was very happy with his new purchase. After the park, we gave him a sticker for leaving the park so nicely. He put it on his soccer ball =)
He really enjoys stickers and they seem to be the key. The other night he was not wanting to brush his teeth. I told him he wouldn't get his sticker for the night if he didn't. He ran right in the bathroom and brushed his teeth.

Last night he woke me up in the middle of the night saying, " Hey Mama! So happy. Finn is so happy."

We are very proud of how he is doing with all the changes that come with being 2.
