| Notice which kid has eaten the least too. Ugh!! That child!! |
My kids are so used to me and all my shenanigans of systems, competitions etc. The thing that makes this trial amazing to me is that I did nothing but show it to them. I suppose the curiosity of the 4 papers I carried to our breakfast table together turned upside down did all the work. I even had to reprimand my oldest from cheating and checking them out ahead of the game.
At the moment I flipped them over the questioned me. Is this only for Saturdays? Can we have more than 1 sweet a day? When can we have more than one? What happens if we eat more protein, fruit, veg etc? On and on and on they continued. In fact at our late lunch/early dinner they brought it up again, checking over each other's plates. That then inspired Annabeth to make a trip back to the Chinese buffet and retrieve 2 servings of veggies.
I couldn't be more thrilled that it was this easy to make them all aware of what they are eating. It has helped me also. Funny how a sense of direction makes all the difference. Check out littlest chosen lunch, it met all the food groups (even though she ate all the carrots so you can't see them).
