Dessert before Dinner?

The article on the MSN website says that having a day where dinner courses are in reverse order may up the dinner time morale and make it something that your family wants to do. By picking a day where you choose not to make dinner a battle and something your kids want to do you teach them that there are more important things in life than order. Fun at the dinner table is something most parents want instead of bargining with desserts for more bites taken you teach them that eating is fun.

I agree with this article and as a new mom myself I am always looking for ways to make dinnertime more fun for my family. This in my opinion is a great idea its something to look forward to and plan. You can take turns making the dessert and dinner for that night. I remember as a little girl my grandparents always had saturday morning waffles, wenesday night musgos ( must go's, leftover night), and sunday afternoon additude adjustment hour. These were days I looked forward to and made my weeks spent with them the best and most fun memories that I have. I want to be able to create these kind of memories for my children. So maybe in a normal world you eat dessert last but once in a while eating dessert first can be a memory in the making.
