The other day Peep 2 was screaming while I was buckling in her car seat. She could not be happy because the picture she had been drawing was not "pretty enough yet" and therefore a meltdown was well underway.
I noticed that deep in the recesses of her carseat was a single smartie left over from who knows when and had been sitting there for who knows long. I dug the smartie out, wiped it off, (germs and cleanliness are always a priority, even under duress,) stuck it in her mouth, and the crying stopped instantly! Yes, I am well on my way for Mother of the Year.
