Without it, kids wouldn't survive long enough to become grown-ups! My nearly-3 year old is trying to perfect his performance. He'll do something bad (potty talk usually) while giving us the cutest smile. Part of me wants to just chuckle at how cute he is. Unfortunately, for him, we've been battle-hardened by raising his older brother (now 6 years old). So the cute smiles don't work and neither do the obviously over-acted tears when we "spank" him (really just a light tap on his rear that he barely feels through his pull-up) while saying "no." .-= TechyDad´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.techydad.com/?p=2867" rel="nofollow">Project New Me: Week #14 or Post-Passover Weighin #newme</a> =-.

It has been a long road to get her to actually clean up on a consistent basis. But, she always knows when to also bring the cute to diffuse our anger. .-= edathomedad´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EdHomeDad/~3/PVphx9CO-0A/so-your-kinda-of-like-mom.html" rel="nofollow">So your kinda of like a Mom?</a> =-.

He'll be a little shit one minute, and then give me this big 'ole smile, and everything melts away in an instant. Seriously, there is nothing more disarming than a child and their cuteness. And mine can't even speak yet.
