Bribbing your child
I am sure most parents think that they aren't going to bribe their child and then there is lack of sleep, crying, screaming, whining, etc. and suddenly you are bribing your child with anything to get them to do something small that should be easy but isn't because sometimes a toddler just doesn't make sense. Last night Murdoch wasn't eating while we were having dinner and one of the Prius commercials came on. Murdoch loves commercials, especially the Prius ones and the local furniture company ones with stupid jingles. So last night I got him to eat a sandwich by replaying the Prius commercial over and over again. For each bite he got to watch the commercial again. At the time it was a little annoying but I have to say looking back at it, it is kind of funny that a commercial gets your kid to eat a sandwich. Ah the funny things that you can't predict will happen to you as a parent.

excellent. I will not share my bribing techniques because then I would be sent to parent hell.
that is hilarious about the prius commercials and local furniture commercials - you will have to record more of these so you have them in your back pocket when you need them :)
also - glad to hear you are taking time to workout and are all set to do a sprint triathlon in the spring... i need to start making time to run or workout regularly, too!
hope all is well with you guys!
Thank goodness for DVRs. I hate those local furniture commercials, I definitely would have chosen the Prius one to replay as well.
