i am not above bribing my children when the situation calls for it, and taking all 3 girls in for check ups is definitely a situation that calls for it. finley has a pretty severe fear of strangers, so taking her to the doctor/dentist is a nightmare for everyone involved. in fact, once she had to send an apology card to our sweet pediatrician for kicking her during a check up. there weren’t any punches thrown today, but somehow i ended up promising the girls and arm and a leg IF THEY WOULD JUST PLEASE STAND STILL ON THE SCALE FOR ONE GOSH DARN SECOND!!
The only sweets we had in our house were these gigantic lolly pops that i was going to use as a decoration for something.
and when the allure of the lolly wore off, they were promised a special something from target…
see that smile? it says ‘my mom is a sucker’. and i am.
that smile is precious!! Adalaide looks very proud of her play dough! She is such a big girl now, playing right along side of sister. Very cute pics, sisterly love. Do you think they “bonded” over the doctors visit? I can not imagine taking THREE children in for check ups! Way to go~
why is the scale SO scary to stand on?! just stand there!
you’re really funny and those lolly pictures are amazing. well actually all of the pictures are. such cute girlies.
The lolly pictures are adorable! I ‘reward’ (bribe) a lot. In my old days as a school counselor we would say it isn’t a bribe if it is rewarding positive behavior…but surely it is. And if it works, everyone is happy.
