Turning technology from mumbo-jumbo into rich tasty gumbo
< Durian Pudding | Main | Rex Captures His Dad >Rex has been mommy focused a bit since her return from 6 Days in Connecticut (not a major motion picture), and at bathtime, he often says, "Just mommy," meaning that he wants some solo mommy time. Fair enough and Lynn's been a good sport about it.
We're letting Rex set the pace on this, but were trying to turn the ship a bit. A few nights ago, I said, "Rex, can daddy give you your bedtime?" "Just mommy." An idea pops into my head. "Rex, if I give you $5, can I do your bedtime?" and I pull out some fake money we play with. His eyes light up. "Yeah."
So we joke around with this, and by the time it's bath, he's given me a fake quarter that I give to him and all goes well.
It's two nights later tonight, and time again for me to do Rex's bath. I offer him various sums, and he finally agrees. In bath, we play with tools, and have a good time. When I get him out of the bath he looks at me and says, "Where my ten dollar?"
We'll have to start a price sheet.

In about 15-17 years this will come back and haunt you... big time. ;)
