About two weeks ago we had hot dogs for dinner. Brayden had it in his head that he was not in the mood for it and wanted something else. I told him he couldn't just have chips for dinner. I also knew that 10 minutes after dinner he would complain that he is hungry. Knowing this, I told him he had two options....
1- He could eat the hot dog
or
2- I could cook up some steamed broccoli
Me -thinking he would for sure eat the hot dog...and that would be the end of "Mom, I'm hungry...what can I eat".
Nope- he picked the broccoli and ate half a plate full.
Go figure......

Don't you love how unpredictable kids are. He made the right choice...hot dogs are nasty:)
My kids love brocolli!! It is funny that a kid would choose a vegtable over a hot dog, but hey. . . .that is great! Not enought parents make their kids eat fruits and veggies. (my kids have to have some at every meal if they want any treats later!)
