day 109 - finish your dinner

i can honestly say my kids are amazing eaters. i have had several friends throughout the years who have struggled through meal time with their kids and have picky eaters.
tonight we experienced a first at our dinner table. lilly refused to finish her dinner. she ended up sitting at the table for almost an hour refusing to eat the last of her meal.  i couldn't help but laugh (fortunately not in front of her) as she sat there pouting, crying and then finally trying to renegotiate her last few bites.  although the timer was finally set and the threat was made that whatever wasn't finished would be served for breakfast - we finally made it through!!!  i'm hoping this doesn't become a new "thing" in our house.

Jaelynne has been served green beans for breakfast once for this very reason. She can normally be bribed to eat her veggies for some fruit, but one time it just didn't work. I don't think we even reheated the green beans before giving them to her. Good luck!
