Lolli Pop Lolli Pop


Clipping Sydney's nails has never been a breeze, but with a silly song or two and a toy to distract her we have managed to keep them under control. This is no longer the case!!! It may be a horrible tactic, but I have taken to bribery!! She kept the little pink sucker tucked awkwardly under her tongue for the most part. Pink, sticky, drool rolled off her chin, covering her once white shirt.
Happy as a clam!!!!!
Until mommy took away her precious new treat
I have created a monster!!
The bag of suckers is only to be used for the most desperate times....... Baths, diaper changes,walks, nap-time, dinner, car rides, story time, pictures....... I can see how this could quickly get out of hand! I may have to re-think the suckers!

i totally feel your pain. Luca had to get an ultrasound when he was 18 months and they gave him a sucker and it has been crazy ever since!You will learn to have different levels of bribes...gotta do what you gotta do!

Hey, in a time of need bribery might be the only option! It's good to know all moms resort to it once and awhile!!

p.s. Motherhood is such a blessing, I'm loving every sleep deprived minute!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with bribes!
