The veggie wars

Nate has been eating badly-no veggies and saying no to anything new. At first we did a "new foods" chart-when he ate a new food we would post it and give a gift when we got to 6. It worked for a week and then it didn't. Lately we're trying the eat your veggies and you get a treat. If you don't we take away your toys. The last two nights he's refused the veggies and acknoweledged that the punishment was to have his toys taken away. In fact last night he went digging for cars that ell behind the TV that we might have missed and offered them to us. "Daddy you forgot this one!" Strange. Subversive. We are confused.

Tonight we had this conversations:

N how about four carrots and one cucumber

S ok deal

N how about 10 carrots.

S OK

N how about one carrot and one cucumber.

S No.
