Still in jammies today but she got a balloon and was having fun. I'll throw in yesterday's too. We went to a crab feed and she was the hit of the party with her red cowboy boots!
K is napping, but here is C. Can you tell that she dressed herself today? The leggins are navy with silver stars on them, the skirt pink, the top pink and then her owl rain boots.
I also prefer to reserve bribes for something I desperately need cooperation from the opinionated little human. I still try not to do it much (I'm sure that will change more w kid 2) but if I do bribe, I try to save it for a bigger thing, not for a pic, just to catch the outfit. I have a ridiculous quantity of pics of out kids anyway. I think I like the non posed more even - or I'll tell myself that. Captures personality.
Hey ding dong - I was legitimately asking why it does not work when they are older?
I would've held still if you dangled candy or flavored chap stick over my head.
Lol. You THINK you would've held still since you're an adult now. I'll bet as a child for every time that would've worked, another 5 times it would go like this:
gypsy mom: Honey, if you hold still I'll give you some lipsmackers. G: [holds still for .05 seconds] GM: Honey, can you please hold still? G: I DID. I DID I DID I DID. GM: That was only for just a second, I need you to hold still longer. G: Okay. [holds still for .1 second, proceeds to twirl/wiggle/turn around/be distracted by shiny object] GM: Honey, just a second longer. G: NO. I don't want to. I want to watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Where's my chap stick? GM: You didn't hold still, honey, so no chapstick. G: YES I DID. GM: Not for long enough. G: YES I DID. I DID. I totally did. I WANT MY CHAPSTICK.
