Stompeez for Sleep

In December, I was one desperate Momma.  I was desperate for a full night of sleep in my own bed without children.  It got to a point that I couldn't remember the last time I had spent a full night in my own bed.  I spent a lot of time going from Jack's bed to Sarah's bed and back again.  There were a lot of bad dreams in our house and they were wearing me out.

Both kids wanted Stompeez (slippers for kids).  I told Jack and Sarah, if they stayed in their own beds all night by themselves for five nights in a row, they could each get a pair of Stompeez.  It was like a miracle, within a week they both had earned Stompeez.

Once the Stompeez arrived, old habits quickly returned. It was the bed hopping Olympics and I was the gold medal contender.

Now when we promised the Stompeez, I didn't realize they were $30 a pair.  Yikes.  So we needed a more affordable plan.

The bed hopping has stopped for the time being, thanks to a well stocked treat box full of favourite chocolates and candy.  Some people would call it bribery, I like to think of it as incentive.
