Good influence... Me?

I'm happy to report that apparently I'm a good influence on this household. I'm getting the family to eat more vegetables, and the other day Joan and I finally went about turning the extra bedroom into an exercise room. I even got Aidan to eat two pieces of broccoli the other day! This is a major achievement, let me tell you. The entire time I was here last year, and the time that I've been here so far this year, I had never, EVER seen Aidan eat a vegetable. The closest thing to a vegetable I'd ever seen him eat was a piece of an apple that had sat next to some green beans in the refrigerator. He wanted a banana muffin (acceptable) with frosting and sprinkles (only as a special treat). So I asked him what he was going to do for that frosting and sprinkles. I was eating lunch at the time and I put two pieces of broccoli in front of him and told him to eat it. I figures there was NO WAY he'd actually do it... but he did! We talked about the tongue doesn't like broccoli so much, but the body does. So you just gotta chew through the eeew and swallow, and that makes the body very happy! Then, of course, you chase it down with frosting and sprinkles.
