This little 4 year old does not always want to eat.
So, yesterday he and I made a cake. A lemon cake (his choice) with homemade chocolate icing (my choice!).
To get a piece of cake, all he had to do was to eat one itty bitty little piece of chicken.
(Doesn't he have a GREAT evil eye??)
Yes! That small!
Where did he go??
At least he ate some bread, but to get the cake, he needs one itty bitty bite of chicken. (By the way, he LOVES this chicken and declared it his "very favorite thing to eat" the last time we had it.)
Oh! There he is!
The compromise?
He would eat the chicken if I cut the "crust" off first. He didn't like the grill marks on the chicken.
Kids!

Oh the struggles of childhood!
Good luck!
I've been having the same problem with one of mine, she refuses to eat and so no dessert 2 days in a row sped her up and she finally ate all her dinner Yeah!!
Sounds like a 6 year old girl I know! No matter what I make, or how many times she has had it before, she always declares dinner "yucky!" or "gross" or "I HATE that! Why did you make it? What is it again?"
Sigh
Oh, I have many memories of food fights!!! Cute story, cute pictures. :)
My 4 year old is the same way. But after not getting the "treat" she eats her food on her own now, thankfully. If my 3 year old would cooperate... that's a whole other story. Your son is adorable. The evil eye is too cute!
How funny! I have to cut the "crust" off of the chicken, too!
Gotta love picky eaters.
Well that totally sounds like my THREE year old. Seriously - that kid could eat dessert for all his meals. It's sad...but at the same time, it's GREAT bribery...er, REWARD for eating the REAL food, first! :-)
Silly kids.
My kids go through waves of picky eating...stinkers. If he was willing to wait on the cake until you cut off the "chicken crust" that shows some dedication!! :)
