We talk out of both sides of our mouths: Beni and I pulled Olivia out of her first preschool in part because they bribed the children with candy, but when it comes to trying to get Olivia to sleep by herself in her room, we’ve incentivized the entire operation. Three nights in a row got her an item of her choice from the dollar bins at Target, a week straight earned her Troy and Gabriella dolls, and three weeks meant that she and her dad would attend a show that brings together storylines from all three High School Musical movies. (And to add to the awesome factor, it’s all done on ice.)
Olivia spent a fair amount of the show trying to convince me to buy her some overpriced merchandise, often while repeatedly disparaging the ice show’s casting director for selecting a skater who is far too tall to play Troy. But all in all, she (and I, admittedly) enjoyed the production, especially when some kind ushers offered to move us to seats with a better view at the start of the second half.

Three weeks in a row--way to go Olivia!
I love to hear your musings on musicals. It sounds like perhaps some of Olivia's sleep issues are now on ice!
