Well, there were mixed reviews on Tuesday when for lunch there was again a bowl of rice. But they all ate it and they acknowledged that it was so they would be thankful. Jackson wanted more than one bowl, but was told "no". He still said "thank you" when he had cleared his place at the table.
There was no other complaining until bedtime, when the boys began asking that they have something other than rice for lunch. The complaints were that they needed more food so they wouldn't be hungry.
I want them to understand that they don't even begin to understand what "starving" is and that they have so many choices even in the foods that they eat.
Today they will again have rice for lunch. I am sure the complaints will be more than before, but after lunch they are going to work on a project. I am going to have them list/draw some of the things they have that they need to be thankful for and then we will put them on the wall so we can remember. (I am going to buy posterboard.) :-)
