"I think he likes it"

"You try it"

"No, you try it"

"I know, let's get Mikey to try it"

Mikey tries the cereal.

"He likes it! Mikey likes it.:

This was the scene at our dinner table tonight but you can change "Mikey" to Owen. You do remember the Life cereal commercial made famous in the 80's, right?

I made beef burritos tonight and put a little bit on each child's plate. If you know my kids, you know that if it doesn't resemble a McDonald's chicken nugget then it's hard to get my children to eat it. I am tired of making 2 different meals or not making something I'd like because they won't eat it - so - they have to try everything on their plate.

Morgan didn't want to. ("You try it")

Drew didn't want to. ("No, you try it")

Owen loved it ("He likes it, Mikey likes it")

Eventually M & D gave in and decided they LOVED the burritos as well, Drew even asked for seconds.

I'm sure we'll get a repeat performance tomorrow night. LOL
