The Strangest Things Grease the Wheels of Cooperation


Sometimes the best way to get a kid to eat is to let them wear their shorts on their head.  Magnus is actually a good eater, he was just a bit cranky this particular morning.  He wanted to wear his Cars shorts,  and wasn't terribly interested in food until his clothing issues were sorted.  September in Norway is definately not shorts weather.  I told him he could wear his shorts for a hat if he ate breakfast.  This idea amused him so much that he instantly agreed.  

I also told him he could wear his shorts over a pair of sweats to kindergarten.  This quickly smoothed over the situation.  It might of looked a little strange to grown ups, but darned if he didn't think he was cool.
