We go out to eat about once a month as a family. Twice on a bad month.<br /><br />I prefer healthy places (we got the apple slices at Subway.)<br /><br />My son does ask for McDonald's. It started at daycare, his little friend eats there a lot. So when my son was 3, he thought McD's was a toy store! It took a lot of work to convince him that it's a restaurant (use the term loosely) that uses toys to lure in kids. And that the food is unhealthy. It's got such cache though! <br /><br />He's 4.5 now, and has been to McD's 3 times. All times he's gotten fruit and yogurt to eat. Once, the three of us split a kiddie fries (I don't like fast food).<br /><br />We definitely restrict TV watching, and am getting my son to help with cooking. This week he's helped with washing and tearing lettuce, and shelling lima beans. Tonight he'll help bake pumpkin muffins.<br /><br />It's a struggle, but you gotta fight the good fight!Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984899661746845414noreply@blogger.com
