Since my husband is a softie, I've taken the stance of being the strict one. G has been giving me trouble eating dinner lately and trying new things. So I have taken measure such as eliminating snacks and changing meal times. One day, we were in Whole Foods (my happy place) and he BEGGED me for a piece of flounder for dinner. He has had it before and liked it, so after he promised me he'd eat it, I got it. All was fine until we sat down to dinner and he flat our refused to eat it. I took toys away (we tell him the trash man is coming to get them) and he didn't budge. in fact, as I was tossing his trains into trash bags, he informed me that his cement mixer was too big and I'd need a bigger bag for it. FRESH! So he went to bed hungry.
The next morning, he woke up hungry and asked for breakfast. Can anyone guess what he got? Yes thats right, the FISH! It was pretty gross after being reheated in the microwave, but i wanted him to atleast try it. after 1 hour and 37 min, He ate 2 pieces. I knew i had him an hour in when he asked for ketchup. After that he got his regular breakfast, but before he did he looked at me and said "And are you happy now?"
yes, yes I am!
