Mission: Get Chloe to eat at least three bites of dinner.
Strategy: Promise her a cupcake if she eats three bites. Count out loud with entire family and make big clapping scene in between each bite.
Back Up Strategy: Re-enact a Mexican stand off scene and DO NOT back down at any cost!
Description of proceedings: Chloe eats two bites and shuts down. Completely. Back up plan put into play.

Wanna see a picture of this real live Mexican stand off?
Bam!
Bam!
There you have it!
As you can see from this photo, Chloe made an unexpected surrender and was released from her high chair prison. Why we have to re-enact historical battles to get our children to eat is beyond me, but I'm now reading a book about WWII to get some ideas for dinner tomorrow night.
