It is the little things that always seem to work like magic.
We are still having difficulties with getting dude comfy at daycare… so, like any normal parent, we have started to bribe him.
The best part is though, the bribe is perfect and well suited to our life.
The home we are renting came with a riding mower. Something every man probably dreams of (at least I know my british hubby has) and every little boy looks at in wonder.
Each morning dude wakes up and checks to see if the truck-tor is still there. Each night we say good night to said machine… wishing it sweet dreams
Little boys truly are so much different than little girls, aren’t they?
So, to assist the dude with going to school and welcoming it with open arms… he gets to ride the truck-tor when he gets home.
It seems to be working… and it is a great father-son moment… and I am grateful I have no need to ride on the noisy beast .. I leave it to be the boys domain.
And it is a bribe I can live with… it feels much better than toys, or treats. It is time and adventure we are bribing him with… and it works!
Thank goodness he doesn’t know he would get it anyway!
