Vaughn getting Brock to do his dirty work
















Last night Vaughn wanted yogurt from the grocery store. He begged for it. Unfortunately, the Danimal crush cup and yogurt drink or "monkey yogurt drink" was too expensive for mommy. I opted for another kids yogurt that was on sale. When we got home, Vaughn was crazy for the yogurt, but then he tasted it. Apparently, it was yucky and had worms in it. He didn't want to eat it. We made a deal...no treat until he ate his yogurt (which is a big deal since Vaughn has treats every night) This morning, Vaughn woke up at 8ish and declared he wanted to make Brownies (I think he is going through withdrawal from McNana's kitchen where he made cupcake ice cream cones and chocolate chip cookies all in one morning) I let Vaughn make the brownies...which was funny, because Brocker wanted to help too. Brock got his spatula into the brownie batter and proceeded to get it all over his face as well as banging the measuring cups on the counter (oops one still had vegetable oil remains in it. Before he could have his brownies, Vaughn had to eat his yogurt. As you can see he used his power of persuasion to get Brock to do his dirty work and eat most of his yucky yogurt. (I don't think Brock minded too much) By the way, I tried to put pants on Brock this morning. Getting the shirt of him was battle enough, so I just gave up on the pants. I guess you have to pick your battles!

Oh, the power of persuasion! Remember, Brocker likes to anticipate those feet coming through the leg and then when they appear, they get a big kiss and told, "I'm so happy to see you foot!" Of course, I'm Nanna, and I think he doesn't challenge me the same as he does Mommy.
