Today I decided to make a kid friendly dinner and enlist Lilly to help make it. I thought that this would make the fight at dinner shorter if she prepared the food.
The meal: ham and cheese sliders.
The ingredients: rolls, ham, cheese, mayo, butter sauce.
I gave Lilly the task of applying the ham and cheese to the rolls. As we were assembling the sliders the conversation went like this:
L: These are going to be so good.
Me: oh good! Ok, now put the ham on.
L: ok, but I don't want ham on mine.
Me: Ok, you don't have to have ham on yours. Add cheese too.
L: Ok, but I don't want cheese on mine or mayonnaise.
Me: So, you just want a roll?
L: With butter.
Me: That is not what we are eating for dinner.
L: Oh, and I don't want mine to go in the oven either.
Clearly my plan backfired. Having Lilly help only made her refuse to eat the food at an earlier stage of the meal.

LOL!!
oh boy! I feel for you!
I know that's a struggle, but sometimes you just have to go with it and hope she learns to eat differently when she's older. That worked out pretty well with Jim, didn't It? Ha.
Ha is right.Jim came home and made a fuss about the ham and then picked it off anyway. Jack wouldn't touch it!
Wow- now I see you have more to worry about than getting the ground beef into small enough chunks....good luck!
