Carrots for breakfast

This morning rocked. Not because I got to sleep in late, cause I didn't. This morning rocked because my four year old daughter climbed into bed with me, and asked if she could have some baby carrots for breakfast. Ahhh! That's what makes this fitness trainer Mommy giddy with glee.

I recently lectured at her preschool and spent time directing parents to make great choices for their children, because of both the short term and long term benefits. I preached that if we consistently offer the truly 'good stuff' to our kids, they will eventually choose it for themselves. Both of my children regularly request fruits and veggies, but carrots in the morning gets the gold prize.

Maybe tomorrow morning you can offer your children some fun veggies too. I keep bags of baby carrots in the fridge all the time. Didn't plan to use them at 6:45 AM, but I will from now on.
