I decided to take a page from Epitome of Sweetness's book and have a "winner" for who got into the car seat first, this being because the two youngest kids were taking forever to get in their car seats. Now they hurry into their seats and hurry to buckle up so they can be "the winner". (even though there isn't a prize) And then we wonder how sibling rivalry gets started.
Today we were leaving the eye doctor's office, and the 4 year old called out, "I'm the winner!"
The 9 year old said, "Oh, no, you are not. Three of us beat you into our seat belts. You're not the winner, you're the weiner."

I know this is probably bad, but with my first two I had seat belt candy. I had a container of skittles in my car. If they got in to their car seats without my asking, they got one skittle. If they stayed in their seat belt until we arrived where we were going, they got one more. (My number two was an escape artist :)
AND---The 9 year old is correct.
When Kate wins, Kaeli says, "Oh no...I'm a woser."
:)
And when she wins, "I'm a winner, Kate's a woser."
And then I tell them that really they are both winners. But it works. So who cares?
