Houston!  They weren’t joking when they warned us that Texas was going to be hot!  Boy, was it...  Still, our day in Houston was a lot of fun.  Positioned outside the Children’s Museum, we not only had a lot of people show up specifically for the event, but also a lot of moms and babies who were just planning on going to the museum!  Always great to get a thumbs up from moms and a big thank you for promoting a cause that is important to them. In Houston, we had a huge turnout of WIC peer counselors.  At every stop, we could always count on having representation from WIC, but they came out in force in Houston.  So, a lot of my time was spent speaking to different peer counselors about the needs and issues facing their clients.  At one point, I was standing in a circle of five people, representing 3 different races.  It was awesome to compare and contrast the issues facing different groups.  I walked away from that conversation with a whole new respect for the concept of peer counselors and making sure that moms receive support from someone who they can specifically relate to. Houston set a high bar for Texas … I quickly was able to sense that different cities in Texas can be a bit competitive.  All in attendance were pretty excited that the Houston star was the first one on the bus’s map!
