Update on the kids

About a month ago she played t-ball for the first time in the PERP, and she's been hooked on it ever since!  Getting her to consistently eat vegetables is still a bit of a challenge, but when she sees her older brothers sticking to the plate diagram during meals, she feels like she needs to do just as well.

When it comes to eating healthily, I think Josh might be a step ahead of me.  He still hates sports, but ever since the lesson on heart attacks and diabetes (they showed how you need to prick your finger every day), he's been worried about it and forces himself to at least walk or play tag with the other kids.

Migues does not have the opportunity to be in the program, but he's learning from his younger siblings. Whenever I catch him with junk food in his hands, he laments over how he did not have the opportunity Rya and Josh do.  Part of me knows that this is just an excuse coming from a sixteen year old, but I also know that he does have a point.  Learning about health and physical education at an early age is important, and should be taught in schools.
