Bribery

If you have ever shopped at the grocery store and tried to compare coupons and do all of your shopping while keeping a toddler entertained you know how crazy it can be...now multiply that by two and you can imagine what an interesting experience the grocery store can be! The other day I tried all of the trick up my sleeve to keep those little munchkins entertained...we sang, we made animal noises, pointed out things that we knew, counted, pretended we were driving the car, etc. To prevent an all out biting and meltdown fest I pulled out the ol' lollipop trick. Yup, that's right. I bribed my kids to behave...and I'm sure I'll do it again.
