We went to Rich & Regina's house for hotdogs & watermelon on Sunday. Rich is one of Nick's old co-workers & also runs with him on the weekends. They've done a couple marathons together.

Thankfully the heat wasn't too bad, so we got to enjoy their patio. While the grownups (& Laedyn) stayed in the shade, Brandon & Jackson played in the sprinkler and ran around in the sunny yard.

Jackson is a little older than Brandon & ALOT taller, but the two have fun when we get together


Since playing with Jackson in the big bucket of water, Brandon has decided he'd really like TWO (not just one) Batman action figures - first he'll have to earn 5 stars per action figure(one star for each day he doesn't have a timeout at daycare).



Poor Batman was drowned, contorted, banged, crashed and eventually buried in the pea gravel.
I think in the end, Batman was just fine.
Barely a scratch.

Good idea with the reward system! He has to behave to earn stars, and he has to count (at least to 5) to keep up with what he's earned. I can't wait to make AC earn some stars!

It worked REALLY well the first couple of weeks. Now he's not as easy to keep motivated...there hasn't been a single star all week!!!
