Lately, when Iz starts whining and throwing a fit, I remind her that babies do that because they can’t talk. She can use words and communicate.
If she continues, I remind her that babies sleep in cribs. I threaten her with putting her in a crib like her sister.
Crap.
Apparently, she doesn’t think cribs are bad.
“What’s the big deal? So what if I climbed in here with my sister?”
{This particular morning, Izzy heard Nat awake and walked into her room. By the time we got in there, she had climbed in. I have no idea how she did it, and to be honest, I really don’t want to know. I hope her sister wasn’t watching, though.}

They're so cute! Evan climbs in bed with Isabella EVERY morning. He rushes upstairs the second he hears her wake up and is over the rails in like 2 seconds!
That's funny! LoL. Why do the bigger kids find cribs so fascinating? To be trapped behind bars is not a thrilling thought to me. But kids are funny and can turn anything dull and not fun into something extraordinary.
When I threatened EJ with crib time she went and put all of her blankets in John's bed! Those kids are just too smart!

They look so happy!! Such big smiles!!
I think that finding that perfect bribe/threat is one of the most difficult part of parenting.
O that is so very CUTE!!!!!
Yeah, that threat's come back to bite me in the butt too.
uhm thanks for this. you know two already scares me. this does not help. although the two of them together? big cheesy happy faces – totally helps
They are super cute! Happy WW!
That's funny! My kids did that too that is when the crib went away.
Haha cute!
LOL, I guess she showed you!
Hi Krystyn. I just gave you an award. I'm just posting it now.
i totally love it when we threaten bradley with do this OR, and you never think they will pick the other thing, and then they do! it is not cool!! great pictures!
I don't think that would work with my son either – he very much seems to wish he were still a baby most days! CUTE pics!
Isn't that frustrating when threats back fire? It made for cute pictures though!
I think it's adorable! Izzy's hair is so long…and looks more straight? I want the curly, 'is that red hair' to stay!!!! I'm getting more and more excited about my visit each day!!!!
Oh they are so cute! I wonder if my daughter will end up doing this too with the baby
Those smiles are to die for! And they really look threatened…
