Too long!!!!!

So I realized I haven't made a post for quite sometime, and it is very aggravating to me. I've been trying to upload a video forever, and have finally decided to just give up!
However, I definitely wanted to post a picture of our marble jars. I've come up with a system, and while I'm still trying to work out the kinks, I am hoping by summer I have a more well behaved 3 year old. It's not that he's even naughty all of the time, sometimes yes, but not all of the time. Anyway, so I bought these two jars, one is mommy's, and one is Carson's. When Carson makes a good choice he gets marbles, and then he can cash them in to watch a movie, play at the mall, go to storytime at the library, etc. At first I was taking marbles away when he made a bad choice, but after talking with my sister, I don't think I'm going to do that anymore, I want it to be a positive thing and all he did was throw a fit every time I'd take a marble away, so we are starting with "reminders" not as a punishment, but as a way for him to take a break and remember to make good choices. I would like to believe I don't have on rose-colored glasses, but I think it is beginning to work. I think he wants to make good choices, it's just hard sometimes when you're three. So we will definitely give updates as to how it is going.
