Only I really would NOT recommend the diet plan. Or the "involuntary lap band" as my hubby calls my esophagectomy.
Favorite quote from Halloween, but first some back story...
Jonah will not eat anything he is not familiar with without a big ordeal of doing the whole "thank you bite" thing, and even then it is a big deal. Most moms are Totally. Familiar. with the thank you bite, but for those of you who aren't, it is basically a statement that says if mom went to the trouble of making you food the least you can do is take a bite to say thank you. And if that doesn't work, we go to the no dessert thing. Except I haven't made dessert in a dogs age, so that really doesn't work unless we've got something to back it up.
These are great ways to get kids rooted in hating ANY type of change to try something they might like. Obedience by guilt and bribery. Works for me.
Anywhoo, Last night the kids went to the church's trunk or treat (like trick or treating, but people give out candy from the trunks of their decorated cars). I wasn't gonna INSIST my kid get more cavities, so I did not object when Jonah gave his dad all the candy he had not seen or tasted before.
