Open wide!

Here are the photos of the licorice! I know some of you thought I was joking, and I wasn't (please look at previous post for the full explanation). I feel better about it with the comment left by my great friend Lesley...and I quote, "I think the licorice shows your creativity and fine talent as a mother!" Thanks for the support!!!

It is amazing how smart kids are...Garrett likes to use the licorice as a whip now to hit himself, his dad, or his mom! He occasionally will still put it in his mouth, but not as often as he used to because he knows that we are coming with the spoonful of food as soon as his lips touch the licorice. (You can't get a more classic face than this...he knows the baby food is coming!) It still is cute and funny that it worked to help him be a better eater! Oh the things you'll try to get your kids to do something...

Those pics are classic! I love the one with his big cheesy grin holding the piece of licorice. BTW what is the green baby food he hates? Are you sure there wasn't some butter mixed in b/c that may have been the problem of why he hates it. Ha ha!

Oh, the things Mom's will do in moments of quiet desperation. Just so you know, all of us do things that we may or may not want to admit. This is a great idea though...I'll keep it in mind for our next little squirt.
