Synchronized Broccoli eating

So I'm sure you're all wondering 'What the heck?!' Well, tonight for dinner we had broccoli with our meal and believe it or not, our boys LOVE broccoli. This mom's not complaining. Even though it is well liked at our house they wanted nothing to do with any food tonight - broccoli or not. Rex came up with a fabuloso idea to have 'synchronized broccoli eating' and it seemed to do the trick. This is how it went. We would all get a piece of broccoli on our fork and then slowly put it in our mouth and chew - ALL IN SYNCHRONIZATION. It was a great deterent to them not wanting to eat anything. Whenever we make things into a game they think it's the best thing in the world. I don't do games as well as Rex does. He comes up with some of the craziest things to get the boys to do something and it's amazing to me how well it works. Once Evan's broccoli was gone he decided to do it with the rest of the meal...(yippeee, go right ahead, Son). That makes me a happy mom - when they decide for themselves that dinner really is good!

Please don't think we're the strangest folks in the world but we do like to distract our kids to the best of our ability.
