Bribes

Yes bribes this is what we use to get Rylan to do things with a smile on his face around here......
Been using bribes to get him to take his medicine for over a year now. The newest thing I have been bribing him with is flushing the toilet..It what i do to get him to come in the house or go down the hall willingly LOL he Loves flushing ...
he is not one much for change, it takes forever just to go from room to room around here ...

To take his medicine which is a nightly battle he hates it we have been through a few different bribes...
Starting with blowing out candles and matches I can't leave a candle burning in this house ever LOL he just wants to blow them out..
we then moved to lawn mower rides
(but last month at the doctors she about had a heart attack when we said he goes for mower rides (YIKES) she's from the Midwest where there are tractor incidents so it made her heart stop..me i worry about his hearing, but you all have no idea what its like giving him this medication every night he HATES is and that putting it lightly ...so we bribe
Since Randy has his motorcycle now Rylan has forgot the other bribes and now is all about the MOMO makes giving him his meds so much easier......
One other thing we do thats not a bribe but cute and fun is that Andrew will bring out all his dolls Ernie,Ben koala bear I am sure there is a few more and then I take turns giving them all a taste of medicine and Andrew and Randy pretend to take it to ..
