There are plenty of mothers who disapprove of bribery as a parenting technique. I am not one of those mothers. In fact, I wholeheartedly embrace it! I credit bribery for the success of Jackson's potty training (Skittles), sitting still at church (stickers), and getting out of the house on time (Hershey's Kisses). The photos below demonstrate the power of bribery. After trying (unsuccessfully) for five minutes to take a decent picture of the kids to give to their great-grandmother for her 86th birthday, we broke out the chocolate:
Sitting still - and holding hands - at the prospect of candy.
The moment the candy hits their taste buds (and we manage to snap our first decent photo).
The kids are thrilled - and so are we (and if you look closely, you can see the chocolate in Jacks' mouth)

Cute Picture! Bribery works, I don't know what those other people do!
I dont think we would make it through a single day without bribing Triton. And, if it makes pictures as adorable as yours turned out, bribe away! The kiddos are so cute! I wish we were next door neighbors so we could hang out more.
