We came up with this sort of punishment for Brooke awhile back. Well it was supposed to be anyway. Brooke has a big problem with not listening to me, or minding. If I tell her to do something sometimes she will do it, but more often than not, she will do what she wants and ignore me. She listens to Mike pretty well, just not me. I was frustrated one day and went to see Mike with Brooke in tow. I was venting to him about all she was doing. When I left he made her stay with him. (luckily for her it wasn't too long before lunch so she only had to stay for over an hour).
Normally she likes being at the shop. But that day, Mike made her sit on a stool the whole time, she wasn't allowed off. For awhile she didn't want to do that again, so that was a great threat. However as time has worn on she is all up for going to the shop. She wants to go play. You can always find something new and different down there.
So (point of the story) one day Mike threatened her when he was home for lunch. She took it literal. When he left to go back and wouldn't take her she was devastated! By the time he got home that night, she was ready to go to work on the boat. (Mike and his friend Bo have been working on their boat trying to make it better, no leaking etc etc. in my garage) She talked non-stop about going out to work on the boat. She goes out everytime he works on it, to help. She puts on her pink "work" (aka gardening) gloves and heads out "to work on the boat with dad". It is so dang cute and I had to get a picture of them that night.
