Shameless Bribery
The older Asher gets, the less cooperative he is when I want to take his picture. Usually this isn't too big of a deal because I just take the camera outside, let Asher run around and play, and quietly snap away. This doesn't work so well, however, when I want a picture of both of my children together. For this reason, I didn't manage to take many pictures of the two of them for quite a while, and none of the dual-burrito pictures I had taken are very pretty. Yesterday afternoon, however, I finally broke down and purchased Asher's cooperation. with chocolate chips.
Me: Asher, if you sit here by Simon and let me take your picture, I'll give you a chocolate chip.
Asher: OK!!Too bad he won't be bought off so cheaply forever.

I read your blog and was so excited to hear of your bribery success that I tried it myself! Sadly,it did not go nearly as well as one would have hoped...
Me: Hey, Mica, if you clean my room,I'll give you a chocolate chip!
Mica: What!? No!
Me: TWO! I'll give you TWO chocolate chips! ...Mica? Micaela, where are you going!? WAIT! THREE!!!
Needless to say, my room has NOT been cleaned...
Oh well...these pictures are ridiculously cute, though! :)
I LOVE the last picture! :-D
The pictures are super awesome. We really need to meet burrito number two!
Ack! They're SO CUTE!
REALLY bad typing skills in that last comment of mine ;)
Love the last picture too-they're adorable! I think that Bribery Queen is a title we all earn once we're mothers because it's one of the few things that WORKS.
That last picture is adorable. :)
