Haircuts and bribes...

So every now and again I will bring home my stuff to cut the boys hair. So when Jace has his hair done at home he gets the same "special haircut treat" everytime which happens to be Oreo Funstix....and anyone who has a 2-3 year old at home knows that they remember EVERYTHING! Jace hopps up in the chair which happens to be eye level with the trash can across the room and says "Oh, who ate my special treat"!! I look to my left almost as if it were in slow motion and see that someone has polished off the box! There are 3 people living in the Seaman household and I know it wasn't me or Jace,hmmm.......DADDY!!! After a minimal meltdown I let him dig into the treat basket filled with random snacks from past holidays (only a child wouldn't care how fresh it is) and he found himself a Mickeymouse sucker. Later Bree and Jack came to get their haircuts and the bribes begun once again " Jack, do you want a special treat for your haircut too?" Of course he chose a Mickey sucker which meant Jace just had to have another. So 2 tantrumless haircuts, 1 wardrobe change for Jace, and 2 mickey suckers later the memory of those Oreo Funstix were history! Thank you Jack, Bree, and of course Mickey for saving the day!
