Smoothies

Weston's doctor says he is a little bit anemic. So I decided to make him one of those smoothies with spinach in it.

Day 1:
Smoothie: ice, blueberries, pineapple, banana, spinach, and cranberry juice.
Verdict: Delicious! Mom, dad and Dallin drink it up. Weston hates it. He sits in front of it for hours before finally getting Dallin to take it outside and dump it for him.

Day 2:
Smoothie: ice, blueberries, pineapple, spinach and lemonade (because weston loves lemonade).
Verdict: Delicious! Even better than before. Mom Dad and Dallin drink it up.
Weston sits in front of it for a couple of hours. I'm sick of the power struggle. I start threatening to take away the computer if he doesn't drink it. He still refuses. I take away the computer for a week and still he won't budge. So finally I tell him that if he doesn't drink it, I'm going to dump it on his head.

The screaming is over. The battle is done. Weston is showered. Hopefully, he won't question whether or not I will follow through with my threats. Also, I highly recommend this type of discipline. It's kind of fun and very therapeutic for mommy.
