Airplane Food With A Twist

So, it's so cliche and overly done already. But, you can't deny what works right? Tonight in order to get Brianna to eat her sweet potatoes (which were really yummy anyways) we had to resort to using the tried but true airplane flying into your mouth trick. Travis held a bite of sweet potato way up high and made airplane noises, telling Bree that the airplane wanted to land in her mouth. Brianna was thrilled with this idea and when the "plane" zoomed up she opened her mouth obediently. "I ate a plane!" she told me, excited. "No, not a plane! Really? You're not supposed to eat planes, that's naughty!" I said with super fake shock. This made her laugh and she said, "I want to eat another plane!" This worked for awhile and then Travis decided to get clever and said "This one's a bird." That went over just as well so then he tried, "Okay, this is a butterfly." Before the game was done Bree had also eaten a "bee," "squirrel," and "chipmunk." Leave it to Trav to embellish! It was getting a little disturbing actually. But, at least she ate quite a bit of her vegetables right?
