Watermelon is in season here, and they are really good this year! (Funny, because it's been a terrible year for everything else - tomatoes etc. are running about six weeks behind the usual schedule, just about everyone has had fungal problems on their passionfruit etc. The weather has been very strange.)

I've never been a pleading parent, but then my kids aren't picky. Our kids know that they have to take one bite, and if they don't like it after that, they can choose to have a peanut butter sandwich instead. It used to happen about once a month, but I don't actually remember the last time one of them opted out completely! We serve avocado separate to our salads, since Finn and Xander don't like it, and Xander puts all of his mushrooms but one onto Vieve's plate, but that's about it.

(I went on an ECE course with someone who was at another course with me, about 12 months previously. In tones of absolute horror, she related the story of someone she met who let their kids have peanut butter sandwiches if they didn't like dinner - she remembered the story but forgot it was me. All I'll say is that I'm not the one spending two hours battling her kids to eat dinner every night and dreading every meal time.)
