So we do something with our boys to encourage good behavior. They have a chart like many do. They have the Rocket from Little Einsteins move up to the top for a “Mission Completion” and then they get to choose a fun activity, and occasionally when they want something really bad they work hard to earn it (this will usually take ‘longer’ on the times we buy something for them since it’s extra special). Well, Carson had it set in his mind that he was going to go fishing, but of course we don’t have fishing gear (Dillon swears he won’t fish for real until his body is useless and won’t allow any other physical activity, but maybe the boys liking it so much will change his mind:). So, when Rocket got to the top last month, we set out to buy them a couple fishing rods (and Carson actually did buy his own from change he’s saved for like a year). Carson chose a Spiderman one and Devon chose Shrek. Carson also has a Spiderman backpack, and loves the guy, but has yet to actually see anything on TV having to do with Spiderman. Devon’s fishing rod says something like “not for recreational use” so I think if you actually did catch something with it, the pole would have a sad time trying to reel it in (I thought even the seaweed we kept catching was rough on it!).
So anyways, the boys had a complete blast fishing last month–I guess Devon mostly got half naked and swam, and eventually Carson ended up also in just his underwear. It was great fun. Carson calls it his fishing rog.
