Lego sets...the highly sought motivator?

With William's recent obsession with Lego sets, specifically getting more, more, MORE, we figured we might be able to cash in on this bit of motivation and encourage him to work hard at staying dry all night.

He dons a Pull-Up each night before bed "just in case," but with his heavy sleep and sleep walking, he struggles to even make it past 11pm before finding himself a bit soggy. Tonight, we suggested that in addition to the money he is saving for a Lego set, Mom and Dad would happily buy him a brand new set if he can stay dry at night for 4 nights. He tried to negotiate on the duration of the "dry spell," but we ultimately agreed that 4 days is, in fact, fair.

So, I asked him, "William, what's your plan for staying dry at night?"

W: I dunno, I don't have a plan.

Mom: It's a good idea to have a plan to follow to reach your goal.

W: Hmm. Well, I guess I'll get a Star Wars Lego set.

M: I really meant more of a plan of HOW to stay dry, not what you wanted to buy.

W: Oh, well maybe a Star Wars game then.

M: Right, well on that note, Good night William.

W: Well, I need a drink before I go upstairs. <... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... the sound of water flowing from the fridge... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...>

Dad: I think that's enough buddy, you just need a sip before you go to bed.

W: Well, I AM thirsty.

M: Oh goodness, is that your 32 ounce water bottle?

W: I didn't fill it all the way up.

Good night little buddy. I hope he dreams of new creative ways to build the legos he already has...
