No, he does't go to Roosevelt. But everybody say that Roosevelt is one
of the best schools of Peru.

Thank you (do you want to be my friend?)

Oh! You have touched an special topic. I would like to know your experience
about this. My wife and my 5 years son eat everything (cooked or raw, fruit,
veg, meat, etc.) but they listen to me and their meals are full of fruits (for example,
the breakfast of all our family is only fruit). My 22 months old daugther is different.
 Since she was born, she eats only her mother brest milk and fruits.
She has never been ill, her teeth look better than the teeth of her brother,
mother or father (more white and stronger), in all her life she never cried
in the night like usually do babies, she is always smiling, her
growth looks normal, etc. I see she is a very "special" baby (but probably
every father see the samein their daugthers, don't they?)

What kind of deficiencies do you think she has or will have? How can I test
 that deficiencies? If you have any experience to show that I am in a mistake:
I pray you explain me.
