There is nothing worse than burning your tongue. Well maybe I guess a paper cut with lemon juice, or stubbing your big toe or even a bad hair day… to name a few. But c’mon a burnt tongue?! What fun is that? It makes eating almost like a chore, which is just plain sad, if you asked me. (Did you ask me?) Anywho, the lip test is our way to combat the burned tongue/screaming & crying/open-mouth-full-of-food falling all about.
The Lip Test: have your kids touch their food to their lip before putting it into their mouth to find out if the food is too hot. A burned lip is a heck of a lot better than a burned tongue.
ps. Thanks to my sweet little model above eating last night’s dinner, her favorite: Chicken Broccoli Casserole.
Great idea! I'm always the sacrificial tongue that gets burned on my kids' food!
Love the quick tip and love the model. She is too cute.
What a cutie pie. I am all about the lip test, unfortunately I seem to have to do it for everyone…
Very good tip! And the cutest model ever! You may need to post that Chicken Broccoli Recipe sometime. Anything the kids will eat is a keeper!
i saw this first thing this morning and it made me smile.
i'm TOTALLY adopting the "LIP TEST" method from now on. especially in public places.
MMMMMMMmmm, chicken broc (actually so sick of the stuff, been makin' it once a week for about 197 weeks now)
okay, yester-cold-day I came home and made us all hot cocoa…over cooked mine and what do you know…
It is a great diet tactic though!!!
