A few years back when our oldest son was about 11 months old we took a little vacation to Montana. It just happened to be very cold and snowy while we were there. We did a little shopping and came across a hat that at the time really defined the essence of Big Brother's personality. We have since passed this hat down from child to child. Somewhere in the mix and chaos of our home, we had temporarily misplaced this hat. While cleaning Big Brother's room, we found the hat and tried to get Boogie to wear it. At first, she wasn't buying it. We told her it was Saturday Breakfast Hat Day and everyone who was eating breakfast had to wear a Breakfast Hat. She still was a little apprehensive with this idea. Big Brother, on the other hand, never passes up an opportunity to be in front of the camera. He proudly displays his Breakfast Hat.
Or Hats...as the case may be.
He enjoyed it so much that he had a variety of Breakfast Hats.
Sissy, on the other hand thought this whole thing was weird and thought to herself, how did someone as cool as me (in my cheetah print jammies Aunt Sara made) end up in a family like this? Just to make them all happy, I'll wear my pink Breakfast Hat.
Boogie finally joined in with a spirit of cooperation and even acted like she was enjoying herself.
She even gave us some "Cheese"
Oh...did I mention that 6 M & M's were involved? Sometimes you just have to speak their language. AAh, the power of M & M's.

cute blog sister. Ya know sometimes you just have to speak the M&M language. It may be the only thing that they understand. Been there done that.
Man, is that all it takes to get kids to cooperate? 6 M&M's?? I'll have to remember that.
I can't believe how big your little Booger is! She's grown like a foot since Thanksgiving!!!
I LOVE the breakfast hat idea, too! Is this going to be a regular thing now? I'd love to see what other hats Big Brother comes up with.
Lucky for us it was only a 6 m & m kind of day! She is the type of kid that responds very well to sugar. The other 2 like Lincolns ;)
I'll get back to you on the Breakfast Hat thing...
