I've tried the logic that if she wants to be a dancer then she needs to eat fruits and veggies. Her theory on that one can be summed up by saying ...it's just a hobby or it's just for fun. I'm not doing this forever.
I think we tried the horse thing before because her horse Smores - practically the size of a real miniature horse- has a carrot that he eats. No go on that one either.
We've been breaking out the 'tough love' lately though. She is required to eat them or no tv, or snack later, and other things like that.
