Isn't this yummy?
Oh, man, I hit a new low today as I was convincing Elise to eat her lunch. She's a pretty picky eater, but two of her "go to's" are Cheese Quesadillas and Yogurt. The "Dilla" is just a tortilla shell, filled with shredded cheese, microwaved, then cut into triangles. Yum, right? She's been on a little bit of a food strike for a week anyway, but today for lunch she asked for yogurt and dilla. Great. That at least covers some food groups, and she had milk, too. After spooning the yogurt on top of all slices of the quesadilla, then licking one or two of them clean, she declared, "I all done, mommy". Grrr. I HATE wasting food, so I worked hard to get her to eat it. It's her favorite stuff, after all! After a few nice requests, I tried the "Mommy will eat one, then you eat one, ok?" She said ok, calling my bluff. So, I had to eat a cold/cheese congealed cheesy dilla totally immersed in organic vanilla yogurt. It gave me the chills it was so gross together. But of course I said, "ooohhh, Elise. It's so yummy. Your turn now." Her reply? "Nope. I said 'I all done' Now I can get down and go play in playroom?". Elise=1; Me=0

You should have played the "if you don't eat it...wait until your father gets home" card. I guess you have to save that one for special occasions, right?
sick!!! oh, the things we do for our kids. and our two "go to" food items are cheese (no need to melt it into quesadillas) and yogurt. he would eat those for every meal if i would let him.
I think I just threw up in my mouth........
You....Erica....are a good mom!!!
Good work Elise, way to pull one over on mom. Now don't teach my kids that!
At least I never had to eat your cheese sandwiches cooked in microwave and wrapped in foil and in lunchbox for 3 hrs. yum.
