Aculady,

I was thinking about that, there is definitely no intrinsic movtivation here. I was thinking about a weekly reward for compliance--he loves to skateboard and the park is 30 min away and $9 entry and it's 98 degrees outside--NOT my idea of fun. I just don't want him to expect a reward for doing the work--what if I can't get it worked out quickly? Sigh. I appreciate the thoughts though, it helps me see that I not just being Mama Bear.
