Getting the kids to eat their food

Maybe we are the only parents that this happens to, but maybe not.  Sometimes it takes a great effort to get our kids to try new foods.  Most of the time when they finally take a bite, they discover that the new food actually tastes pretty good.  Well, this happens all the time at our house.  The funny thing is that many times Tyler or Lauren will “forget” that they liked a certain food and we have to go through the whole process again of trying to get them to “taste” it again. 
Last night Meredith made some meatballs with rice.  It’s a quick and easy meal and the kids love it.  As we sat down to eat, Lauren pushes her food away from her and complains that she doesn’t like this meal.  Let it be known that she LOVES this meal.  We are not sure why she forgets this.
So, I decided to get my phone ready and I was going to record her going through this process so that when she forgets next time, I would have a video to play back for her.  Well, here it is:

  1. Great idea. I'm always reminding my kids (Spencer) they like foods too.
