Last weekend we took the kids to Steak and Shake as a reward for John having "good" days at school. A good day consists of him either getting all smiley faces next to the following list...listening, keeping hands to self, respecting circle time, 1 step directions, staying on task, and lining up or not getting a piece of paper describing his "areas of improvement". He went 2 weeks without any issues! Definitely had to celebrate!
Yesterday though he didn't have a very good day. The note from the preschool teacher was that the "class lost center time because John threw a fit in gym and would not clean up". He also had frowns next to 1 step directions and lining up.
Today he had a good day again. I've come to realize that without those bad days we would forget to appreciate and enjoy all of those good days! I always need to remind myself to focus on the good things and not to dwell on the bad things. Especially during this Christmas season - all of the extra hassles and things we feel we just have to do...instead of getting all stressed out we need to remember to enjoy the moment and have fun and remember what the whole reason for celebrating is! I know, I know, easier said than done! :)
