I think every good parent bribes....in moderation.
A while ago, we were having trouble with Josh and his behavior. Not anything serious, but he just needed a 'carrot' in front of him. That 'carrot' came in the face of YouTube videos of the 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Before we go on...it is very important to know that this is not the same cartoon shown on today's cartoon networks. It is much more laid back and as kid-friendly as a show like this can be. It's a more 'mature' cartoon than Caillou or Cat in the Hat, but not as violent and (for lack of a better word) vile as some 'mature' cartoons can be nowadays.
It started off with just Josh enjoying them. Well, I take that back.....Daddy enjoys them just as much, if not more than Josh. (I'm not sure if he really likes them that much or if he just like to relive his youth.
Just recently, Macey has joined in on the fun, too. She is only allowed to watch the theme song, but even she can sing most of the words because Josh sings it so much. And it doesn't help matters that when Daddy brushes the kids' teeth at night, they regularly request this song be sung while brushing.
Here is a video of Macey the other night.
She was doing so much singing before I turned on the camera, but her enthusiasm never wavered.
Love these kids!
