Success! If you remember from my earlier post (here), we have been diligently working on getting the kids to try new foods. Part of the deal we made with them, was that if both tried 30 new things we would take them on a trip to Great Wolf Lodge (I know that's a huge reward and normally not something I would offer, but we were planning the trip anyway ;) ). And they did it! Sometimes it was a struggle and we were a little concerned that Tyler wouldn't hit 30 before we left, but all in all the kids were actually a whole lot more willing to try new things than we had expected. In fact, once Kaitlyn got on a roll there were days when she would try 2-3 new things in one meal!
So, last week found us on vacation at Great Wolf Lodge - yay yay yay! It was a great trip and we all had so much fun, not just at the water park (though that was great and took up most of our time) but with all the activities offered there as well. I absolutely recommend taking a trip there, if you've been thinking about one. It's a great way to break up the winter blahs. (And don't forget to ask about the military discount!)
Even better, family meal times have gotten easier. Tyler has expanded the list of items he will eat, which gives us a little more freedom. Kaitlyn is doing even better, and will eat (or try) almost everything I make for dinner every night - such a huge improvement! And as we discovered while on vacation - eating out with the kids is now a pleasant experience again :) Both of the kids are now willing to keep trying new things so it's time to sit down again with the husband and start plotting a new motivational technique...
