Parent tactics and fails.

This evening I sent my children to go brush their teeth. I found Naomi and Caleb looking at books in a bedroom. Instead of yelling at them I reminded them that they were supposed to be brushing their teeth. I then turned off the light to give them incentive to get to the bathroom. While they were on their way to the bathroom I turned to my husband who was coming up the stairs to tell him about how I had avoided yelling and how please I was with how well it worked.

Then I walked into the bathroom.

Only to find those two sitting in the bathtub together looking at the same book.

Spoke too soon.
