I asked my son if he'd mind if I took his photo. Look at his response....
"C'mon, it's not like I asked you to scrub the bathroom or walk the dogs or cook dinner." Please smile without rolling your eyes at me".
"There, that's a good smile. Can you give me another so I can snap one or two more pictures? I'll buy you a piece of candy if you do".
"Oh wow, mom, a whole piece of candy?" I upped the ante a bit here... "Okay, I'll take you out and look for chewy apple slices". (His favorite candy).
Just look at the smile that got me!!! Just a few sweets work as bribery for my son. Unfortunately, though, after visiting 4-5 candy shops, not one had those green,chewy, sugary apple rings. We are hard pressed to find those little buggers anymore.
But, I got my smile!

So what you're saying is that my son will never grow out of this? I have to do the same thing with mine. Bribery! :) At least the stakes aren't quite so high with a 5-year old. A couple Skittles and he's happy!
Hehe, thanks for the smile boyo....it put a smile on mine too! Yours is my last stop before bed....i'm about to drift off and dream of candy! Love all the photos Dot but the last one's the peach...or should that be the apple?
Butt scritches for the furkids xx
Bribery gets you everywhere! Lovely smile.
Bribery, a mother's secret weapon! Your boy is very handsome. It seems you really captured his personality!
Wow he has the prettiest eyes! Bribery works every time!
