Bribery

If you've been following my blog from the start you may remember my post about what a picky eater Aidan is.

That seemed to changed the week after Mason was born when Nani was able to get him to eat anything she put in front of him.

It seemed to continue on after she left and as of last week, he is pretty much eating like a normal kid!!(hopefully I'm not jinxing this....)

We have successfully been able to reason with him and use "treats" as bribes to finish his dinner.
That's right. I'm not above bribery...don't judge.
We also follow through with all "threats/bribes". You don't eat, you don't get your treat.
Tonight's treat was Watermelon (this was after he ate salad, sausage, peppers and potatoes!!)
A funny sidenote on the sausage is that it was pretty spicy but he tried it anyway. Had a slight panicked look on his face, told us it was hot...then continued scarfing it down. A few minutes later he had his napkin in his mouth wiping his tongue off!! (No doubt trying to get rid of the "hot") Yet it still didn't stop him and he just kept eating it!!

He told us he loves watermelon and scarfed it right down:

As an added treat...this is how I found him sleeping the other night:
