I wonder if you hear these words often in your house too; "but i dont want my dinner, i just want dessert". Then goes the battle, but you have to eat your dinner first, then you can have dessert. She would just eat jello or a sandwich if I let her. And every night when I make dinner she looks it over real good then tells me, "this looks disgusting". And i always say, "eat it anyway". And she frowns, and after eat bite she says, "did I eat enough"? Can I be done now? Mom, can I just have dessert now, puleeeeeeze?" And I look at what she has left and say how about 10 more bites (or whatever I think will get the plate clean), and she smiles and says "okay"! And finishes her plate. She hasnt caught on quite yet......
Last nights "just desssert" was Blue Bell vanilla yogurt ice cream & strawberries...and she cleaned her plate.
