Sleep Motivation

So ever since we were packing up in Atlanta and only had one bed Max has wanted to sleep with one of us each night. After various failed attempts to get him to sleep on his own again, I devised a Biene Maia sleep incentive game. Biene Maia is a German cartoon bee. Max saw a Biene Maia game (kind of like the game Sorry) in a store when we first arrived and really wanted it. So I created a chart with places for 5 bees. Max would get a bee for each night he slept on his own. Once he got all 5 bees we would go get the game. Luckily Max is really into bribery and this worked like a charm. After 5 nights of sleeping on his own we went tot get the game. Max was super excited. SO he has been doing great for 2 weeks now. Although the last 2 nights he has gotten up at 4 and come in to sleep with us. Not sure how to deal with that one since neither of us are functioning that well at that hour!
