Lily Eats a Burger

. . . sorta. More like Lily tries a burger, but much rather eat tater tots! In my never ending attempt to get Lily to eat something besides chicken nuggets for dinner, I made turkey burgers last night. It is actually the third night in a row that I cooked dinner! That may not mean much to you, but it is a pretty big deal here! I feel I should actually clarify some -- I prepared dinner and made all the sides, but Chip actually cooked the chicken on Sunday night and the burgers last night out on the grill. In the dark! I love having a grill and I love having a husband who feels it is his job to cook meat outside!!
Anyway, back to Lily. . . I made the huge mistake of serving her tater tots with her burger, instead of serving the tots as a dessert. She actually picked up the burger first and tried it which got me all excited, but then went for the tots and never looked back. I ended up slowly stealing them off her plate and would only give her one if she took a bite of the turkey burger. I even tried cutting the burger and letting her eat it with a fork. She wasn't really having it -- she only wanted the tots and when I wouldn't let her fill up on those she gave up eating completely. That is until 15 minutes later when she asked for nuggets . . . maybe next time.
