Lately Ainsley has been very interested in becoming the tallest person in the world, like mom and dad. We must look like giants to her. I think she started thinking this because I have told her that if she wants to grow big and strong she needs to eat healthy things like fruits and vegetables. I usually tell her this when she is begging for treats.
So now that Ainsley is working toward her new "goal" she will always ask before eating something, "Will this make me big?" She has been told that treats and junk food won't make her big and so last night after eating a cookie she told us that the cookie made her sick. At dinner time she will often gag down food that she doesn't like (like asparagus) because we tell her it is a vegetable and will make her tall.
So we are in a very good position right now as her parents. Instead of arguing over what she will and won't eat, we just have to inform her of what will and won't make her tall. With any luck at all in just a few short years we will have the tallest girl in the world.
