Bribery

The other day I was putting Cooper in bed. I don't remember if it was because it was nap time, or because he had done something wrong. In any case, though, it was daytime and I was putting him in his bed.

He did the usual pleading to not put him in bed, to let him out and play, etc, etc.

When it became obvious to him that I wasn't going to budge and that he WAS going to bed he stopped and, suddenly reaching for his pocket says, "Wait, I have money!" (a coin he had picked up during the morning)

I was already on my way out the door at that point, but I had the disctinct impression that my 3 year old was trying to bribe me.

Don't quite hardly know what to think about that.

I'm so glad you've updated your blog! I found it a while ago and check it periodically to make sure you guys are ok. Your kids are hilarious - who'da thunk they'd resort to bribing so early? I laughed out loud on that one. Tell Sarah hello for me.

Dang! I'm so glad you recorded that one! He's going to laugh at that when he's older! I love the little things kids come up with!
