The Ol' Blueberry Trick

I just got finished bribing Logan. You see, he loves blueberries...will do almost anything for them. Aside from getting him to sit, rollover, and speak, blueberries are also good for getting him to eat foods that he is not the most thrilled about. I wanted to feed him some garden vegetables and sweet potatoes and chicken but he wasn't into it. So, I gave Logan a few blueberries, then proceeded to hold them in front of him while simultaneously holding a spoon full of garden vegetables. He has played this game before, with his Mom, the inventor of blueberry bribes, and so Logan gulped down the garden vegetables and then eagerly used his sophisticated pincer grasp to capture the blueberry. Once he devoured that it was onto the next spoonful and the next blueberry. He ate the whole bowl of food that I prepared for him and got a bellyful of blueberries. Lunch is finito!
