It is nearly impossible to get my boys to eat their dinner in a reasonable amount of time. It isn't uncommon for them to still be sitting at the dinner table, with a full plate in front of them, 45 minutes after dinner started. Tonight I threatened them by setting the timer and telling them they better be done when the 8 minutes was up, or else! Of course when the timer went off, they were still just sitting there. I had to have something to do when the timer went off, so I made both boys put their noses on separate walls for two minutes. Erik thought it was pretty funny, but it worked like a charm for Ryan. After the two minutes he gobbled his dinner right up. Is this cruel and unusual punishment?

My poor children have spent plenty of time with their noses on the wall. It makes me laugh a little every time.
