Monkey see, monkey do

Today my 6 year old son announced that he is on a diet!  He said he needs to make sure that he is getting vitamin C and eating bananas!
Obviously he is observing me and my PCP activities.
The funny thing is, he needs to gain weight so we are trying to fatten him up with whole milk and avocados.  He naturally likes quite a lean diet and would be happy to exist on protein, fruit and vegetables.
He is not a fan of the carbohydrates - complete opposite of me!

I felt that my kids were eating well before but I have really stepped up the nutritional value of their food since being on the PCP.  Both of them are eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. My 4 year old and I had a fight over the last carrot stick on my plate - I won, this was carefully rationed food!
Don't worry, I cut him some more carrot sticks.
It hasn't been a question of convincing them to do it either.  I think its a case of monkey see, monkey do.
I read an article that said you can shovel all the healthy food you want into your kids but if you are sitting beside them eating junk they will grow up with your food habits.

Heres to healthier kids and good habits!
