Alright, so every once and a while I, as a dad, come up with a good idea that actually helps my kids out, instead of my usual ideas that backfire. I have twin 4 year old boys, and we recently switched their toothpaste, which they did not like. They are pretty strong willed children, so they would only allow a small amount of toothpaste on the bristles. It wasn't enough to really clean their teeth with, and they would inspect the bristles each time to make sure I wasn't putting too much on. Well, one day I decided to inject the toothpaste into the bristles, essentially hiding it from their view. I just left the little bit on top, which they approve of. This has been going on for a week now, and they are none the wiser. I know it's a small victory, but I'm happy when I can outsmart a 4 year old.
So what are your dad victories? It could be something small, or something big. I think it's fun, and funny to share, so jump in!
