The weekend before Liam's 2nd birthday we took him to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate. It was actually more of a congratulatory trip since we had promised to take him there when he was a "big boy" and weaned. Chuck E. Cheese has a large selection of printable rewards charts on their website that you can use for all different kinds of behaviors. We used the "good night's sleep" chart since we were mostly working on getting him to fall asleep and stay asleep without nursing. We thought he might be a bit young for it but it worked like a charm. He was very excited to put his stars in the boxes and he even went as far as filling all the boxes in when I wasn't looking. Sneaky boy.
When the chart was completed (the right way) we took him in as promised and showered him with pizza and tokens. We may have showered ourselves a bit as well. We spent a better part of our day there and I must say we had a really fun time. We all felt accomplished and very proud of ourselves and our little guy. It was a great way to close that chapter in our lives.
Liam still talks about that day and wants to go back. He calls it "Duck E. Cheese" which is pretty cute, too. A post about his actual birthday is coming soon.
Looks like a fun day! It looks like you were the only ones there!
