Dinner Adventure

Benji has been doing a great job eating new and different foods. He's usually very reluctant to try something new, but once convinced, cajoled, or bribed to do so, he will admit if he likes it--which is most of the time.

He really like croutons on salad but we were getting frustrated when he ate ONLY the croutons and not the other parts of the salad. So Aaron invented a game called "Dinner Adventure" in which the rules are that Benji is on a hunt for croutons but he has to eat the salad off the top of the crouton in order to be able to eat it. Benji loves this. He hasn't yet figured out that the alternative name for this game might be "Do as we tell you but call it something fun sounding."  :)  Aaron wins another genius dad prize!  --Victoria

P.S. This photo is from a night we were having bean tacos, which Benji likes, but he specifically requested a salad as well!  It works!  In the photo, he is counting the number of colors in the salad veggies, because Aaron told him it was a "rainbow salad."
