A Mealtime Game to Keep 'Em Eating

Flash and Butter Cheeks are decent eaters, especially Flash these days. However, there are days where you would think they are dieting to fit into a size 18M pants. For those days I came up with a little game.

Flash seems to love numbers and counting, so we play the "subtraction game." With cut up pieces of chicken, or whatever else it may be, I have him count all the pieces. Then I ask him if he subtracts one (by eating it), how many are left? He gets a kick out of having to count the remaining pieces over and over again. Plus, it's educational.
