it works! (i imagine it would with most kids).
the other day i told her in the morning she could do a craft. she got all giddy & got her stuff ready. but before she started...she was getting cranky & whiny.
& she knew exactly what i was gonna say,"stop it or...."
before i finished, she said, "i don't want santa anymore!"
"then what do you want?"
"i want art"
:)
that's like the sweetest thing i've ever heard!! that this girl would prefer art over santa...
she made this with binh.
i went to the gym, while binh babysat. & they crafted the whole time.
binh said she only asked about me once.
they made that tree handprint & a few more paintings. i forgot to take pics of the others since they weren't hung.
on monday we spent the whole afternoon making christmas cards. & she says we're not finished. every time aris called, she'd yell, "DAD!! i make you a christmas card!!" it was suppose to be a surprise!
and if she picks up a pen, marker, or whatever....i know exactly what she's gonna draw first, smiley faces.
smiley faces of all kinds!!....just a few from her notebook.
she never says why she draws smilies. she just does!
i need to take more pics of her little creations. it makes me so happy.
so bribing her with santa doesn't work anymore. only lollipops & art!
she's so mini me. except, you can't bribe me with a lollipop.
