Well, the other day I was holding Jayden and trying to feed him his smoothie. It went sort of like this:
Me: Come on, open wide!
Jayden: Mouth clamped shut, waving his head from side to side, "No! Yukky! I'd rather starve. I loved it last time, but today it's yucky!"
Me after a while: I can't sit here all day. You need to eat.
Jayden: Mouth clamped shut.
Me: OK, back into the viv you go.
Jayden: The second his belly touches the ground, he gives me his best sidewise stink-eye glare and opens his mouth wide.
I fall for the ruse and bring the food to his mouth. He clamps his mouth shut. "No! Not gonna eat!" I start to walk away. We're back to the stink eye and a wide open mouth. I pick him up again. Back to the clamped mouth.
Me: OK kid, we're going to sit here until you are so starved you will eat anything.
Jayden: Opens mouth wide. Gets fed.
Who is in charge here, anyway?
