It's a fact people. The bigger the kids get, the smaller and more expensive their toys get. Check out these Squinkies and Lego people. RIDICULOUS!! And if we lose just one, it's an all out freak out sesh. I started a new thing though, because ain't no way I am gonna spend 10 bucks on 12 of those tiny little squinkies the size of my thumb nail. Evan earns money when he tries a new food or gets all his badges on his chore chart for the week. Now some people might say that's bribing your child to eat. I call it rewarding for branching out of the chicken nugget zone we have been in for 3 years now. And then it gives him the opportunity to learn about money, the value of the dollar, and how to count it out to make a dollar. And I am hoping he will have more respect for his toys and take care of them better???? Hoping is the key word there. Anyway, it's worth a try. In the last few days alone he has tried eggs, he licked bacon (that one didn't count), pineapple, blue berries, strawberries and a yogurt smoothie. Hey, the only fruit he eats is typically are apples, bananas, cantaloupe and peaches... so I was thrilled. Of course his gag reflex was in full effect and the only thing he admitted to liking was eggs. But it's a baby step!!!! A tiny, minuscule, squinkie size baby step, but a step in the right direction nonetheless!!!!
