Voting Question: How can I get my 3 yr old to eat fruits & veggies?

My son is now 3 1/2 years old and he weighs about 37lbs! By looking at him, he's not 'fat' but I can tell he's not as lean as he used to be. Over the past several months we have moved to a new house, had a baby, and traveled A LOT so his diet has been a lot of fast food and or "quick" meals (i.e. mac & cheese, pb & j, french fries, cheese pizza) He doesn't like veggies, except corn. I can't get him to eat anything! Honestly, nothing. A typical day's meals are: Breakfast: Cereal w/soy milk (usually fruity pebbles or similar type cereal) Lunch: Pb & J, his snacks are gold fish, sometimes a banana (if he's in the mood) or crackers. Dinner is usually Mac & cheese, "veggie" hot dogs (made from soy) or other "non meat" foods such as a veggie burger. That's pretty much a typical day. He is a vegetarian, so I'm constantly concerned about his diet since it's mostly centered around 'carbs' and such. My question is, what are some ways I can include veggies & fruits into his diet since he's SO picky?? (He won't even touch fruit juices by the way!) Thank you for any help you can give me! more

The Pink Door Bang! Bang! Bang! Drew woke up to the sound of Pierre, his French butler. He was their 3rd one this month. “Get up Master Carzolli your mother and father are waiting for you at the breakfast table.” He said with his funny accent. Drew stretched and slipped on his Ralph Lauren slippers on. “Son” his father said “I see you’re getting a B+ in calculus, if you ever want to go to Princeton you’re going to have to step in up a notch.” “You know I was...” Drew drowned his father’s voice out. He was distracted by the neighborhood children playing a game of kickball in the street. They look so happy. He thought hmm... they look happy but how is that even possible they have ragged clothes on and they obviously don’t have money weird. Maybe I should get some friends he thought. Psh! I don’t need friends when my father just bought me the brand new Playstation 4.

That night he drifted slowly into a dream. “Yea catch you guys at the mall.” “Oops I’ll get that.” He picked up the books and all he could see was the back of her head. She had long straight black hair, and was wearing a very beautiful smelling perfume. She proceeded down the long hallway and walked through a pink door. The next morning he woke up and drove straight to the pink door thinking it had some type of meaning behind it. He rang the doorbell. “Yes?” He was in shock. She had dark, straight, long, black hair. “Yes?” He was left speechless by her beauty. He bravely asked, “Do you want to go to lunch with me downtown?” “Sure.” She said not really understanding why this man showed up at her doorstep and asked her on a date. They really seemed to be into each other. He explained everything to her. Day after day they grew on each other and soon enough they fell in love. One thing he realized about her was she didn’t have much. She didn’t own a car, her clothes weren’t designer. She seemed so happy. They bought a New York Apartment with a pink door. He decided not to go to Princeton, but to work with his wife at pet-co and while grooming a dog a dog he realized right there money doesn’t always bring happiness. more

Resolved Question: How much does your child (children) eat?

A typical meal for him would be: Breakfast: 2 scramble eggs, 2 slices of French toast, 8oz.of OJ and sometimes an English muffin. for Snack: crackers, fruit juice and a fruit for Lunch: 1 whole wheat sandwich with turkey, alfalfa sprouts, a fruit juice and fruit. for late snack: some noodles or mac & cheese for dinner: he is into seafood, so he'll have like two shrimp fajitas or a breakfast dish. Does your 10 year old eat this much? By the way, my son is not fat, he swims or plays at the park. He is a healthy boy who hardly gets sick and he doesn't like junk food. more

Resolved Question: How is this piece of writing?

I was six when I met him. I was this pretentious little Upper East Sider that had been raised in a typical green awning-ed building by a nanny named Clara that wore white gloves and was from France. He was a shaggy-haired tiny rocker, already harboring a sort of rebel attitude along the lines of James Dean (circa Rebel without a Cause). He was from the West Village, a neighborhood my mother would never have set a Jimmy Choo-ed foot in. In her closed-conservative mind, it was almost as bad as Queens. I was getting dropped off for my first day of Kindergarten at Cappaport Academy, the school at which my mother had applied me to the day I was born, by Clara. It was raining, hard, and Clara was holding a Burberry umbrella in her white-gloved hand as we went up the steps to the intimidating white stone building on Park. I was carrying a tiny Kate Spade coin purse, for buying lunch, of course. The already upwards of 40k a year cost of tuition school charged extra for their all-organic vegetarian lunches, and snacks of Perrier and sugar-free cupcakes from Rose Bakery next door were extra on top of that. As Clara signed me in with the Chanel-wearing secretary and waited to get my schedule (yes, as a kindergartener, I had to get a schedule), a tall red haired woman wearing paint-splattered jeans and a Prada flower-print dress ran in, her demeanor in entire disarray. She was toting a little boy with messy auburn hair wearing khakis and a black cashmere tee-shirt, and she was yelling into her cell phone something about “going to Ivan’s art show in Brooklyn”. They looked like Park Avenue’s demented surprise babies, conceived by a clandestine affair with Alphabet City. The secretary looked the woman and her son up and down before literally turning her nose up at them. She asked the mother’s name, and when it was given, immediately turned down her nose and ushered them through the huge oak doors leading to the elevators right behind us. As we both stepped onto the elevators, Clara and the woman started the quintessential small talk essential to any New Yorker. “Clara Maddeuax, I’m this Delilah Chase’s nanny,” She introduced herself. She always introduced me like that, as “this Delilah Chase”. With her French accent, most people interpreted it was “miss Delilah Chase”, which was probably for the best. “Pleased to meet you, This Delilah Chase. I’m Rhea O’Neil, mother to This Sebastian Walker.” So she had caught the “this.” But for a moment, I thought Clara had gone mute. She stopped fiddling with her gloves and looked up at the woman like she had just told her she was Jesus Christ’s daughter. After a long, awkward silence, she finally said, “You-You’re Rhea O’Neil? My God, You’re my favorite artist of all time!” The woman just smiled and nodded, obviously used to this sort of reaction. “I’m flattered, darling.” The woman-or, as we now know, Rhea O’Neil murmured politely, just as the elevator doors opened to the Kindergarten floor. Classical music was playing from the ceiling, the smell of Chanel No. 5 wafted in the air, and the children in the room were all silent Ralph Lauren Child Fall Catalog look-alikes. It felt like I had stepped into the Church of Classic Wealth, worshipping Chanel, Park Avenue, and Mozart. Resale shops, fattening cakes, and bright colors were the Antichrists at Cappaport. Clara leaned down, gave me two quick kisses on each cheek, and left, muttering a quick, “bonjour” to the teacher, who was standing by the door, watching over the terrified class of beautiful children like a hawk. Any tear that was shed was quickly wiped off with a glare from the teacher, whose title, I would learn later, was Madam Roguard. Rhea O’Neil merely patted little Sebastian on the butt and nodded at Madam before lighting up a cigarette as she left. Madam’s mouth opened, most likely to bark at her about the strict no-smoking rule at Cappaport, but Rhea was already in the elevator, flicking ash onto the flawless white carpet. Sebastian and I looked at each other with curious eyes. He was by far the child that fit in the least among the obscenely preppy crowd; even though his attire wasn’t too crazy, his manner was decidedly Greenwich, whereas the other children’s was definitely Upper East Side. I fit in easily, with my Ralph Lauren Annora Polo Dress in sea foam, my black curls held back by a J. Crew headband and my teeth already doctor-straightened and whitened. I had been brought up to be silent around adults, polite around children, intelligent around teachers. But Sebastian…I already knew something was different about him, even then. He had this mop of messy auburn hair that fell into bright brown eyes, a lopsided grin that bore a huge gap between his front teeth, and such a sort of confidence exuded from him that you knew he wasn’t born and bred a few steps away from Central Park. Hold on a second. This isn’t a love story, if that’s what you’re thinking. Not at all. So if that’s what you want, you better look elsewhere, because I’m about to tell a story with little to no romance in it whatsoever. I realize what I’ve said so far has conveyed severe Nicholas Sparks vibes, but that is about to end. Just to give you a heads up. Alright. Now that that’s been straightened out… Sebastian looked straight at me and said, with the oddest look of rebellion in his eye, “Hi. Your hair is messed up. And your nanny is a piece of crap. Just thought I’d let you know that,” He stated before skipping over to talk to a Maddox Jolie-Pitt clone. I remember being so caught off guard by his comments that I literally froze. My mouth dropped and I felt myself going numb. This was Cappaport Academy, supposed home of the most elite children in the city, and this was the first person I meet? A horridly rude little boy that had an artist, albeit an incredibly famous one, for a mother? Something in the world had gone horrendously wrong. Thus was my first encounter with Sebastian Walker. more

Resolved Question: i know its very long but it was allllllll good, so what do you think?

Men vs. Women Men and women are not alike. Sure, you thought you already knew that. But now we have conculsive proof! After countless hours of surveys and studies on the following topics, these facts have emerged: RELATIONSHIPS: First, a man does not call a relationshipo a relationship - he refers to it as "that time when me and Suzie were boinking on a semi-regular basis." When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her heart out to her girlfriends, and she will write a poem titled "All Men Are Idiots." Then she will get on with her life. A man has a little more trouble letting go. Six months after the breakup - at 3 am early on a Sunday morning - he will call and say "I just wanted you to let you know you ruined my life, and I'll never forgive you, and I hate you, and you're a total floozy. But I want you to know there's always a chance for us." This is known as the "I Hate You/I Love You" drunken phone call, that 99% of all men have made at least once. There are community colleges that offer courses to help men get over this need; alas these classes rarely prove effective. SEX: Women prefer 30-45 minutes of foreplay. Men prefer 30-45 seconds of foreplay. Men consider driving back to her place as part of the foreplay. MATURITY: Women mature much faster than men. Most 17-year-old females can function as adults. Most 17-year-old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work out. HATS: Women look good in hats; men look like dinks. HANDWRITING: To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch. Women use scented, colored stationery and they dot their "i's" with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their "p's" and "g's." It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she's dumping you, she'll put a smiley face at the end of the note. BATHROOMS: A man has at most six items in his bathroom - a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving crewam, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. MAGAZINES: Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked women. Women's magazines also feature pictures of naked women. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day. GOING OUT: When a man says he's ready to go out, it means he's ready to go out. When a woman says she's ready to go out, it means that she WILL be ready to go out, as soon as she finds her other earring, finishes putting on her makeup... LEG WARMERS: Leg warmers are sexy. A woman, even if she's walking the dog or doing the dishes, is allowed to wear leg warmers. She can wear them any time she wants. A man can only ear leg warmers if he is auditioning for the "Gimme the Ball" number in "A Chorus Line." CATS: Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. MIRRORS: Men are vain; they will check themselves out in the mirror. Women are ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any shiny surface - mirrors, spoons, store windows, toasters, Joe Garagiola's head... GARAGES: Women use garages to parke their cars and to store their lawnmowers. Men use garages for many things. They hang license plates in garages, they watch TV in garages, and they build useless wooden things in garages. MOVIES: For women, their favorite movie scene is when Clark Gable kisses Vivien Leigh for the first time in "Gone With The Wind." For men, it's when Jimmy Cagney shoves a grapefruit in Mae Clark's face in "Public Enemy." JEWELRY: Women look nice when they wear jewelry. A man can get away with wearing one ring, and that's it. Any more than that, and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic. MENOPAUSE: When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a variety of complicated emotional, psychological, and biological changes. The nature and degree of the changes varies with the individual. Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction. He buys aviator glasses, a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for an expensive foreign sports car. LOW BLOWS: Let's say a man and a woman are watching a boxing match on television, and one of the fighters is felled by a low blow. The woman says "Oh, gee, that must hurt." The man doubles over and actually feels pain. ADMITTING MISTAKES: Women will sometimes admit making a mistake. The last man who admitted that he was wrong was Gen. George Custer. RICHARD GERE: Women like Richard Gere because he is sexy in a dangerous way. Men hate Richard Gere because he reminds them of that slick guy who works out at the health club and dates only married women. NUDITY IN MOVIES: Every actress in the history of movies has had to do a nude scene. This is because every movie in the history of movies has been produced by men. The only actor who has ever appeard nude in the movies is Richard Gere. This is another reason why men hate him. DAVID LETTERMAN: Men think David Letterman is the funniest man on the face of the earth. Women think he is a mean, semi-dorky guy who always has a bad haircut. LOCKER ROOMS: In the locker room, men talk about three things: money, football, and women. They exaggerate about money, they don't know football nearly as well as they think they do, and they fabricate stories about women. Women talk about one thing in the locker room - sex. Not in abstract terms, either. They're graphic and technical, and they *never* lie. LAUNDRY: Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the laundromat, and expect to meet a beautiful woman while he is there. WEDDINGS: When reminiscing about weddings, women talk about the "ceremony." Men talk about "the bachelor party." SOCKS: Men wear sensible socks. They wear standard white sweatsocks. Women wear strange socks. They are cut way below the ankles, have pictures of clouds on them, and have a big fuzzy ball on the back. PLANTS: A woman will ask a man to water her plants while she is on vacation. The man will water the plants. The woman returns five days later, to an apartment full of dead plants. No one knows why this happens. MUSTACHES: Some men look good with mustaches: Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds. There are no women who look good with mustaches. NICKNAMES: With the exception of female body-builders, who call each other names like "Ultimate Pecs" and "Big Turk," women eschew the use of nicknames. If Gloria, Suzanne, Deborah and Michelle get together for lunch, they will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Deborah and Michelle. But if Mike, Dave and Jack go out for a brewski, they will affectionately refer to each other as Bullet-Head, Peanut-Brain, and Useless. more
