The things we do...

to get our children to eat!

This evening Holden didn't want anything to do with dinner. He had brought some foam letters to the table. He dropped a couple and started to whine because he wanted us to pick them up. So we told him take a bite and we will give you 1 letter. To our astonishment he actually did it!

Then he thought it was fun and kept doing it over and over. He would also give us a letter when we would take a bite.:-) For the first time in a long time he ate nearly all of his food. If only I had thought of this tactic earlier.

ooooo what a fun game. I love it. I hope he starts eating better for you. My girl goes back and forth. I never really know how she'll eat.
