My Parenting Style: Bribery

Big Dog had to go in for another blood draw. Big Dog knew when we went to the doctors office that we were going to the lab. And he wasn't happy about it. I told the boys that afterwards we would go get ice cream and go to the pool. This did not make him feel better. When they got the needle out. Big Dog was screaming and GH put his finger up next to his mouth and was shushing Big Dog.   I'm sure Big Dog was thinking, "Yeah easy for you to say squirt. Your blood is not being stolen." After we were done in the lab and got into the car. GH raised his hands into the air and shouted "Ice Cream Cones."
