Stair Master

Cortney has been stomping her foot lately when she gets mad.  So we needed to come up with a consequence, and we like more natural consequences, so we have her go up and down the stairs 10 times for every time she stomps her foot.  The other day she decided to push a little and stomped her foot 5 times, I am sure just so see what we would do about it.  That night she went up the stairs 50 times, it took over an hour. She was exhausted.

At night we take turns reading her books when she goes to bed.  That night Chris asked if he could read her a book, but only if he could carry her up the stairs.  She collapsed in his arms while saying, "That would be great!"  Point taken.  Since that day she has only stomped her foot once, and right away she realized what she was doing and stopped!
