Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I guess it depends on the kid. My five year old thought this was the coolest thing ever. He ate everything on the plate without the usual 45 minute debate, bargaining, crying etc. My eighteen month old also thought it was cool, and played a fun game of making little piles of food in each box, mushing the food up, transferring to another box, making a new pile, moving it again etc. He ate precisely zero of the fish sticks I so lovingly prepared. Not one solitary pea, declared "nooooo" to the tater tots. I eventually gave up and made the 'Meal of Last Resort', aka grilled cheese sandwich. He took two bites, and then threw the rest on the floor, where it landed in a pool of milk which had been dripping from the cup he'd tossed down nonchalantly a minute earlier. "Do you want a yogurt?" I asked, growing in desperation. Big nods. He took one look before declaring: "All done!" to the untouched, organic yogurt which are like a dollar each. "Coco Krispies?" I pleaded, now willing to give him anything to avoid him waking up hungry in the night. He took a few bites at least, but hardly enough. I gave up, put the ungrateful little brat in his bubble bath, then bed, then wine. I am living in a real life Groundhog Day, just replace the fun snowball fights and romance with hardened Cheerios stuck to the wall and poop. Where do I pick up my Mother of the Year award? Anyhow, to sum up: very nice idea, the plate is nicely made, and my kids' dinnertime routine is destroying my will to live.
