George Bush is not our role model
Max had a very late nap today, putting us two hours behind on dinner and the evening's other activities. Supernanny Jo would chastize me for such a wishy-washy schedule.
Max began his negotiations for dinner with a request for pizza. Nope, no pizza. I put a sweet potato in front of him and offered him a choice of chicken or mac and cheese. Max chose pasta. As he was cleaning his plate, he astonished me with a request:
"Mommy, I want healthy food. Can I have some broccoli?"
I have an informal policy not to act as a short-order cook for the kids, but tonight I made an exception. Before bed, I may have to wipe the smile off with my face along with my mascara.

There are no doubt other ways in which 41 is not your role model. What this says to me is that whatever role model you are using, Max is getting it! Great work!
