Tonight, while we were happily eating supper together at the table, I told Matthew to put some of his food in his tummy instead of playing with it on the plate. He looked at me with a bewildered look on his face and then proceeded to lift up his shirt and say "tummy!"
"yes Matthew! When you eat food, it goes into your tummy!"
He thought about this for a while and then got the biggest smile on his face, like he had solved the million dollar question!
In fact, it was Mommy who solved the million dollar "how do I get him to eat" question. He darn near licked his plate clean... one bite at a time, explaining what it was, saying "tummy", lifting up his shirt and pointing to his tummy and then laughing like crazy at how funny the concept of food going into his mouth and ending up in his tummy could be!
It was all going great until he said "open up!"...
"you mean open up your tummy??"
"open tummy! open tummy!"
Uh oh, now how do I explain this one.... :o)
