I am just tickled by these Alphabet Plates featured on Swiss Miss. The boys are average eaters, when they do eat. It’s getting them to the table and to stay there that is hard. Con is already on board with loving broccoli, Dash not so much but he lately he’s been craving meatballs. I can’t wait to craft some of our own plates and I wonder if there can be some subliminal messaging while they eat the food: Dash loves green beans. Or, maybe I could just motivate them to keep eating by writing rewarding messages on their plates. Everything in our house is a competition: who can get dressed fastest, who can be wetter in the tub (no joke) who can fart louder (I swear). I bet I can turn this to my advantage by customizing plates to say: Wow! You Ate More Than Your Brother!  If the plate says it, it must be true, no?
