This family is NOT above bribery
Our new living arrangements mean the girls are sharing a bed. Michaela thinks she and her sister are having a sleepover everynight. Nadja thinks this is pure torture. For an entire month we have heard nothing but little wimpers coming out of the bedroom-that would be Michaela. Then we hear "Shhh! Be quiet!!!"-that would be Nadja. This goes on usually until about 10:00 at night when they both finally pass out. The other night, Michaela came dashing out of their bedroom all excited that Nadja was going to give her candy after school if she is quiet and goes to sleep. It worked like a charm, and we couldn't be more proud of our little negotiator.

HA!! That's great!! Lillian often bribes her little sisters with money. . . it used to be pennies, but now that Ella is realizing that they're the 'smallest', we've moved to 'silver coins'! These big sisters have to have SOME cards in their hands!!! Too funny!
Love it. Glad Nadja figured out a way to deal with her little sister. My sister was too close to my age to really negotiate with. Miss you guys!
Nadja is learning the "fine art" of parenting! Too funny! Celeste really wanted a little sister..but I tried to tell her that her life would be more complicated with one (to make her feel better)!
HA HA HA! That is so funny. Had me laughing. Bribery works!
