our sharp dressed (and very smart) little man



Tonight was Anthon's preschool program/graduation. It was FANTASTIC! And I am very PROUD to say that they even did the Pledge Of Allegiance! Now During the Christmas program you may remember that Anthon literally just stood there, wouldn't dance, sing, do karate, nothing. Although he did smile. Well this time I bribed him (don't judge). He has wanted wooden Henry FOREVER (Henry is a train, wooden is the most expensive kind they make), so I told him that if he did his dances, and songs really good for the mom's and dad's that we would go to the "red store" (aka Target) after the program and get Henry. IT WORKED!! He DID everything!! Danced, sang, the whole bit. And by golly he was darn good if I do say so myself. After it was all over I go to get him from the stage and the first thing he says is "Ok lets go get HENRY!!!"


and brother is of course very proud of Anthon, although it may not have seemed like it when we were there given Noahs very vocal opinion about NOT wanting to be there. Luckily the little guy fell asleep 15 minutes into it.

:)... Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. He looks so cute all dressed up in his graduation suit.

Love the pinstripes. You should have told us. We would have been there with bells on.

Bribery is a wonderful tool. Congrats on the preschool grad. Does that mean he starts kindergarten next year? Wow...

What a cute little guy! I am SO into the bribery as well. My boys also call it the "red store", how funny. BTW, where did all the nice cheap die cast models go? Seriously.
