Note the mattress on the floor to the left and comfy plywood he's napping on.Cayden keeps jumping on his bed and a few weeks ago he fell and bit his lip pretty bad. I've told him before that if he jumps on his bed I'll take his mattress away. Well, my mom was here when I did that and he cried and cried and she (being the softy grandma that she is-and note she was not that soft as a mom! :) ) convinced me he wouldn't do it again and he should have his bed back. Well, he jumped again and my mom wasn't here to save him (although he did say, "mommy, call grandma Pam" I knew why he wanted to and said, "no" which resulted in even more tears) so I took away his mattress for nap time. At first I thought he was never going to go to sleep b/c it was too uncomfortable, but he did fall asleep. I hope he learns his lesson b/c I sure feel bad for him!! (I just get tired of spanking for the same reason over and over. I thought maybe this would "hit home" a little better for him. )

Sometimes it's best to remove the "problem" from a situation :) I cannot believe he actually fell asleep though! Tired boy!
Way to stick to your guns mommy! He is a super smart boy and you just drew your line in the sand good and strong!
Ha! That really is a unique discipline. Hopefully it worked because what would be next? Removing his entire bed?! :-)
