Tyler - Dinner & Conversation with Dad

Sunday night dinner.  I gave the kids each a plate of food that consisted of sausage, bacon, potato chips, and apples.  Tyler ate the apples & potato chips.  The kid is not getting any protein.  I made Tyler try the foods.  He licked them and said gross.  Dad and I told him he would not get anything else to eat until he took a real bite of the sausage.  He wouldn't.

I tried talking to Tyler about how important it is to eat protein.  He wants to be a football player and a navy seal when he grows up.  I told him that protein is a very important part of a football player and a navy seal's diet.  He still wouldn't eat.  I can't get through to him.

Tyler went to his room & Dad went in to have a talk with him.  I don't know the details of their conversation but five minutes later Tyler comes out of his room with a different attitude and asks for bacon to eat.  And this kid ate bacon.  Wow.  He ate and ate.  Luckily I had fried up 2 packages earlier in the day for our breakfast the following week.  He then had his granola bars also.  I was pleased that he finally had something in his tummy besides chips and apples. 

Now--back to breakfast challenge...
