We started this tonight with cucumbers. Our main dish was loaded nachos (corn chips, cheese, chili peppers, tomatoes, olives and shredded chicken). The kids LOVED it (and so did me and Glen). Joseph ate his cukes up and Esther, well, she did not. Her plate sat and sat and sat. Finally, we had an idea...kids like to sometimes to do things that are forbidden to them, so...
...we forbade Esther to eat her veggies. That's right! And it worked like a charm. Glen and I kept telling her not to eat her cucumbers, while Joseph cheered for her to do. Then Glen and I told her not to listen to Joseph. So, what did she do? She listened to Joseph and ate all of her cucumbers...with a big grin on her face. She got more nachos.
Listen to the video as Joseph reveals why Esther should not eat vegetables (hint: he says that veggies make people stronger and if Esther gets too strong, he and Glen won't be able to handle her). Yes, Esther is strong and has a lot of energy...those darn vegetables! ;)
