Today, Valerie had a play-date with a friend, Stephanie, from school at our house.
Stephanie ate dinner with us this evening prior to her mother coming to pick her up. I dished out the chicken flautas, vegetables and salad. As I put the salad on Stephanie's plate, she announced, "I don't like carrots! I am not going to eat them!"
There was no need for me to respond, because Valerie quickly interjected, "I LOVE carrots! I'm going to eat mine!"
Pensively, Stephanie agreed, "I guess I'll eat my carrots, too."
If that kind of positive peer pressure could transcend the next fifteen years, I think my job as a parent will dramatically improve!
