A Little Unorthodox Motivation Can't Hurt... Right?

Although Jack and Juliette can spend hours playing nicely together, giggling like lunatics whenever the other one says poop. But Jack also loves to harass his baby sister. He steals her lovey cloth from her crib and runs with it in his mouth, grabs toys out of her hands and runs off to hide them, or just piles on top of her.

He's like a puppy, being annoying for attention.

The other day his torture of choice was pinching. When I heard her crying, I grabbed Jack for a little talk.

"What were you doing to Juliette, Jack?"
"I was just giving her shots Mommy. Shots hurt."
"Well Jack, you're not a doctor so you can't give shots. If you want to be able to give people shots, you need to go to medical school."
"Oh. Ok. When can I go to medical school?"

They played nicely the rest of the day and I think I might have planted a seed.

Nothing like a little early motivation!
