Dear Hooper & Van,
We’ve been working a lot on positive reinforcement lately to subdue otherwise torrential toddler behavior. And it’s worked wonders for your behavior, Hooper. The other day, in fact, you were kind enough to share several of your toy cars with Van. This event occurred unprompted which, of course, is always the goal. Van, you always love when Hooper brings you a toy; you stare wildly into his eyes, eager to be a part of his world. To reinforce this behavior, I gave you both a treat.
Later in the day, Hooper, you proceeded once again to be kind with your brother. You gave him your toy and patted him very gently on the head. Then you looked at me, raised your eyebrows with your chin high up in the air, pointed your index finger up to the sky in true Hooper fashion and asked, “Treat?”.
Hooper, I’m not sure what you love more: your brother or Gerber puffs.
I love you boys.
Mama
They look so gorgeous together and some lovely shots i must say!
Thank you 🙂
Can I ask where you got the bookshelf in the photos?
It’s from Pottery Barn Kids. You can also try stacking spice racks for a cheap alternative. I would have done that, in hindsight. But I do love this bookshelf.
Thank-you! Tried the spice racks from Ikea, we overloaded and they fell off the wall.
Let’s hope Gerber puffs are enough incentive for at least 20 years.
Hahahahahaha your blog brightens my every day!
Aw, thanks. You have no idea how comments like this brighten my day.
