Perhaps the best part of our wknd vacation was that my mama stayed with the kids and taught (bribed) them to sleep in their beds all night! Somehow they had both fallen into the habit of waking up and coming to our room. Oh wait, it may have been because of the mattress on our floor inviting them there.
We figured this was better than them waking us up. The rule was that if you come down you have to be quiet and just go to sleep. Sometimes it worked.
Anyway, Grandma training. Here is how it went down...
Mama likes her sleep and didn't want them to wake her up, so she told them if they slept in their beds all night she'd take them to get ice cream the next day. I couldn't believe it, but it worked. On day 2 she took them to Target and had them pick out two toys each. The catch was that they had to put them on top of the fridge and could only have them if they slept all night in their rooms. It worked!
To continue the bribe theme, we took them to the $ store and had them pick out about 10 things each to put in a grab bag. If you sleep all night, you get a grab back treat. My babies love presents, so yes, it worked.
Lucas with his bag and his first item... silly string.
Crazy hair awaiting her bag.
Grandma was about to head out, but we got a few shots of her with the kids.
