I realized the greatest thing when the twins were 2. They freak over PRUNES!! No joke, its like catnip! They go crazy when they see a bag of prunes and will literally do anything I ask in hopes of earning one. I don’t know how this possibly came to be! Those little individually wrapped prunes are always in my purse ready for bribing! HAAHA I know it’s horrible! Might as well use it as long as it lasts, right? They will be so mad when they realize prunes are not a highly coveted dessert item!!! I’m sure I will never hear the end of it once they are teens…”YOU clean my room mom..I’ll give you a frickin prune if you do it!”
And while we are on weird food preferences- My son loves broccoli!!!! I am dreading the day some other kid tells him it’s gross. He acts like they are trees and says he actually feels himself growing bigger every time he eats them. In the middle of a playdate he actually ran into the kitchen and said “Mommy, if I clean the WHOLE playroom can I have a WHOLE bowl of broccoli?” Thanks for making me look good Raimy… Too bad I had made cake for the play date (which her kid wasn’t allowed to eat! *insert other mom face of disgust*)…The broccoli comment evened out the view of me though thankfully! Hhahaha
If you have littles, try the prunes! You’ll feel a whole lot better handing them that instead of a lollipop:)
