The "Carrot Challenge"

Everyone has those days with stubborn kids unwilling to eat veggies! Today our two youngest decided (in play) to offer a challenge to each other! Who ever could eat the bowl of carrots the fastest wins! We went over the "eating rules" - no stuffing all the slices of carrots in the mouth all at once, -chew completely- must swallow . 
They are ready to begin! Both convinced they will be the winner. The cool thing is that they both win, because they are both ingesting a vegetable that is healing to the liver, high in vitamin A,  (which helps the skin and immune system) and full of fiber! (We all know how much daily fiber our bodies need) in the meantime, while they are joyfully gobbling away, Mom is equally counting all the blessings this little game provides! 
By the way, Luis won! How do you get your kids to eat veggies? Do your kids initiate ideas?
