creative ways to get your kids to eat food

 One thing I love about my husband is that he's a food genius.  A few nights ago he had the great idea to try and get our kids to eat rice.  Up until this point it usually meant lots and lots of extra clean up after dinner, and kids with an empty stomach.  So Paolo made rice "the way they eat in Japan."  I really, really doubt that their rice has ever looked like what we actually gave them, but that's not the point.

 He also had the cool idea that the kids paint themselves head bands that looked like the Japanese flag.  They ended up looking nothing like the Japenese flag either.  But we had our "Japenese" meal.  The rice was good.  Mostly it was me that ate it. :)  Since then we've had rice again and they were much more willing to eat it.

 Nothing stays on this girls head/in her longer than a few seconds.  Her new head band was no different.

Hiiiiii-yA!  Take that ninja dude.
