magic...


so, i am sure everyone has been through this...the toddler not wanting to eat, throwing his plate, breaking the unbreakable ...normal, right?! well, i have found a solution (that works this week, fingers crossed for the coming weeks!) so, noah and i are at target and they have the cutest assortment of kid's plate. i let noah go through them and pick one out. he was so cute - he would study one and then say "put back!" if it didn't pass his inspection. he found one that he wouldn't let go of...the monkey plate. i would like to thank target for making this magical plate! he has eaten every meal on this plate and asks for it all the time. it has yet to be thrown or tossed aside... we went back to target today just so i could get another one of these "magical" plates and he was very disappointed that the monkey plate was sold out...we had to settle on the monster plate...we'll see if if holds any power!

here's how the magic happens...

i load up his plate.
he eats.

all gone!


MAGIC.

Isn't it great when we find the little things that work, they get so independent so fast! Tanner told me yesterday after being told no to something, Mom you're mean! Broke my heart, but made me laugh.

What a great idea! I'm going to do that with Bradley and Jamison and Dawson! Not that they throw their plates, but sometimes it's a fight as to whose is whose. Also, they don't want to eat their food sometimes, so maybe this will help. I should get one for Sunday dinners for Andrew and Georgia too. Cute!
