I give him a look like "Seriously" when he launches into a tantrum. I do a lot of bait and switching with toys he shouldn't have at the time or before bed. Last night, he was playing with a toy beaver before bed. After reading to him, I grabbed his blue bunny lovey and switched them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-sneaky-mommy-tricks#post-1036878 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:37:17 +0000 Vegmama 1036878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am LOLing at the fake crying thing!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-sneaky-mommy-tricks#post-1036717 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:04:03 +0000 wheres_c 1036717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: ooooh thats a good one! he loves to play "mommys going to get you".

When he's sure I'm not going to open them, he closes his eyes too.</p> <p>I mock him when he's fake crying......I know that sounds mean, but it quickly turns his fake cry into a laugh.</p> <p>Do you have tricks for squirmy diaper changes? A LO that wants to eat your food?</p> <p>What are your mommy tricks? </p>
