Torture of a toddler

Tonight at dinner Jessica had a hard time finishing her food. We have been pretty good about making Cailyn finish her dinner if she wants dessert, but have not been as strict with Jessica. We are working on that and tonight she wasn't happy about it. I thought that we would show everyone proof that Jessica can be extremely intense.

We've sooooo been there!! Both kids are pretty good about it now, they know if they don't finish, they don't get extra's of what they want and/or dessert. Lynz has been doing the same w/Chad recently, too. Fun stuff :)

Aiden does the exact same thing some days. We have to stick to the rule of eating as many bites as you are old. So, he has to finish 2 bites before he's done. But, we still have the food thrown at us some nights.

Do you know what I like? She covers her mouth at the loudest most intense part of the scream! So when ever you want, please let her come over and teach Elijah about that trick! :)

Looks like you are going to have your hands full. Reminds me of Madison. Gotta love strong willed kids..

Oh wow, I thought I was watching a video of Keitra! From the screaming with her hands over her mouth, to the hitting of the spoon. All that was missing was for her to shake her head violently from side to side and furiously wipe everything from her tray to the floor! Oh the drama! Corban, on the other hand, is in a phase where half the time he decides he'd rather not have dessert than eat the rest of his food and often remains happy to abide by that decision for the rest of the night. If I'm not careful as to how the rules are structured, he has a tendency to make them backfire on me! I wonder where he gets that from...
