About a week ago, I made chicken, rice, and peppers for dinner. I told Jonas he had to eat 3 peppers since it was the only vegetable we had with dinner. He ate one, made a face, picked up another one, and asked to go to the bathroom. I followed him in there, and sure enough, he threw it in the garbage. I put another one on his plate, made him eat it, and after he finished it I let him have dessert. After dessert I gave him the "You are not allowed to hide or throw away your food" talk. He responded with, "Mommy, I have to show you something". He showed me behind the fridge....where he had thrown all his food from lunch!! Seriously?!? Imagine if he hadn't told me!
