A couple months ago, Shannon and I hit on bribing persuading Genevieve to be a little less frustrating at bedtime by offering her – and Julia, of course – the chance to go with me Saturday morning for bagels at the downtown coffeeshop. The scheme has worked well enough that today’s outing was our third straight.
Not only is $6 for breakfast for three a pretty good deal ($8 if I need a latte), the breakfast works out to $1.20 for each quiet bedtime, or roughly ten zillion dollars less than each is worth. Pennypinching aside, the girls love the breakfast and the tradition, and we all have a great time.
Fun!
(And Shannon gets some me-time!)
