LOL. I should stop doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-good-are-you-at-tricking-your-lo#post-94533 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:51:47 +0000 mrbee 94533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Haha I lol'd! </p> <p>Charlie likes to "help" though, so he is always trying to help me open the fridge or turn off a light switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-good-are-you-at-tricking-your-lo#post-94525 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:50:24 +0000 banana 94525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is only 2 so it's super easy to trick him. The one I use all the time is that I pretend I can't open something or turn on something even though I use ALLLLL my strength, like a light switch or something. Works every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-good-are-you-at-tricking-your-lo#post-94524 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:50:13 +0000 Andrea 94524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: that trick just about always works on my LO. it will be a sad day when that doesn't work anymore because we can get her to do most things with that trick. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-good-are-you-at-tricking-your-lo#post-94519 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:48:46 +0000 heffalump 94519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, LO is young so she's easy to trick. I only wish I could trick her into not trying to take my glasses off my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-good-are-you-at-tricking-your-lo#post-94518 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:48:13 +0000 chopsuey 94518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol. I haven't had to trick her yet. Oh man.. looking forward to it. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-good-are-you-at-tricking-your-lo#post-94513 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:47:12 +0000 mrbee 94513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was pretty good, but I have learned a lot from Mrs. Bee! Also, a commenter on the blog recommended the book "How to con your kid" and that taught me a lot too:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Your-Kid-David-Borgenicht/dp/1594740739" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/How-Your-Kid-David-Borgenicht/dp/1594740739</a></p> <p>The newest thing Bee taught me: when Charlie doesn't want to wear his sleep sack at night, then I ask him: "Whose sleep sack is that... is it Daddy's sleep sack? Is it Mommy's sleep sack? Is it Olive's?"</p> <p>He gets possessive and says, "No, it's Charlie's sleep sack!" And then he forgets he doesn't want to wear it. It's worked a few times this week! Probably not ideal to reinforce his possessiveness like that, but I'll worry about that when he's feeling and sleeping a bit better!</p> <p>How good are you at tricking your LO? Do you have any techniques to share on how to trick your LO? </p>
