Brothers

Leon and Reuben are interacting more and more, Reuben wants to do whatever Leon is doing, preferably at the same time which Leon finds very frustrating to say the least. Leon got the point where if Reuben even looked in his direction, he would winge 'Reuben no!' It was getting be be a right pain in the ear drums; Reuben would touch Leon and he would cry like he'd been thumped. I have introduced the reward system for Leon whereby if he wants a new toy he has to earn one by getting 10 good boy points which are collected on his chalk board in the form of smiley faces and he also gets a sticker per point. So far he's 'earned' a lorry and a Rosie engine for his wooden railway. At the moment it's for a turntable for his railway - one I picked up for a couple of quid on Ebay. Food bribing wasn't working but for toys he will behave himself, try to use the potty, put toys away and now....be nice to Reuben! Offering him good boy points for being gracious towards Reuben and not screaming the place down every time he comes near him is working and I even have photos to prove it!
