Goodbye good boy calendar

Good boy calendar is a concept implemented by MudBa when JosB was born.
He bought it while JosB and MudMa were still in the hospital.
This is a positive re-inforcement to Sai Sai, to encourage him to be a good model for JosB. (And to ensure baby JosB will be safe ..ha..ha…)

The golden rule is, Sai Sai has to behave – be a good boy every day.
And the game plan is :-
1. Sai Sai will get a ‘good boy card’ if he is a good boy on that day.
2. The ‘good boy card’ will be put in the corresponding date in the good boy calendar.
3. At the beginning of each month, we will check the total number of good boy card that Sai Sai got in the previous month.
4. Good boy card everyday = a big present.
5. Good boy card more than 20 = a medium present.
6. Good boy card more than 10 = a small present.
7. Good boy card less than 10 = no present.

Since May 07, we have this exercise everyday ….
As expected and not surprisingly, Sai Sai was very happy whenever he got a good boy card, and he cared about it very much.
He will be disappointed if he could not get one, and will ask for the reason.
Towards the end of the month, he loves to count the total and if it’s almost 20, he will really behave better on the following days.
And of course, he looked forward to the present at every beginning of the month :)

As you may foresee, when time goes by, he does not that care …

Maybe presents are not that attractive (MudBaMa do not want to give him expensive present) …
Maybe he has already got more than enough toys/cars to play …
Maybe he finally feels that it’s a kind of restriction to him (cannot do this, cannot do that) …

So, MudBaMa both feel that it’s time to say goodbye to good boy calendar in 2009.
Thanks for the 19 months long service to the Mud’s family !

Q&A
1. What is a good boy card ?
- It is a small square color paper (usually for making/folding animals)

2. Is there anything on the good boy card ?
- MudBaMa will write something on the back (white side), usually for something happened or wanted to remember on that day. i.e. we went to Disneyland today, today is the first day of K2, etc.

3. Where are all the good boy cards now ?
- We did not throw them. MudBa kept them all safely in a ‘treasure box’ as a memory for all of us :)

4. How’s the performance of Sai Sai in the 19 months ?
- So far so good, he has never got less than 10, but never got a card everyday. Haha….

5. Did he miss the good boy calendar ?
- Of course not ! He did not even care about any good boy present – did not ask for it in Dec :P
