What do you bribe your kids with?






K So I know that I am NOT the only mom that does this.. So here is the question of the hour.. What do you bribe your kids with? Candy? Toys? Movies? Etc.. Not me I bribe Coleman with Doing the Wash, Vacuuming, cooking with "the "RED" beaters, & cleaning up the toys. NO SERIOUSLY! So today I was trying to get him to come over and get dressed, of course he RAN OFF! So I said to him if you get over here and get dressed then we will take your stinky P.J's and go do the wash. HE RAN RIGHT OVER! Then he said "we do the wash then the vacuuming, and then vacuum the car, and pick up the toys, and then we do more wash" REALLY! Its sad that at 2 (almost in a half) he looks forward to doing the wash, and vacuuming. Most of you know his OBSESSION! With the vacuum, it makes me crazy really, we have to talk about it every single day. AND NOW I have to hide the vacuum in the 2nd bathroom, behind the shower curtain, IN THE TUBE! so that I don't have to follow him around the house cleaning the screwdriver bits out of the hoses, and finding all the attachments, Oh by the way we don't have any anymore! Thanks! So That is my funny boy. Like father like son! At least he likes to have things clean. and wants to "work hard" as he puts it. He is such a sweet boy we really are SO GRATEFUL that we were blessed with him. Its amazing you NEVER realize how much joy a child will bring to your life until you are the mom, and suddenly you don't care "AS MUCH" about all the gross stuff, and all the work. Hopefully someday one day we will be blessed with another.

Your little guy is so cute! You are lucky he wants to 'help' you so much!! Mine is actually only 14 months but does act like a 2 year old sometimes...I'm scared to have two kids! It's gonna kick my butt.

Blake loves to clean too! He is always vacuuming and sweeping. He loves to change the laundry and put the clothes in the dryer because he gets to empty the lint trap! He also loves cleaning the bathrooms. Kids are fantastic!!
