This contest is over. Congratulations to our winner: lilypony!

Here's the first contest in our Month of Mom, our month-long celebration of moms: Four ticket vouchers to Sesame Street Live "Elmo's Super Heroes" at the PNC Arena!

Sesame Street Live makes annual stops here in Raleigh at the arena (formerly the RBC Center) and is hugely popular with parents of young children. It's here from June 1 to June 3. Tickets start at $12 a piece. Click here for more information about the show.

In this year's show, Super Grover has lost his super-ness and Sesame Street needs a hero! Never fear, the fabulous five Super Heroes are here -- featuring Elmo as Captain Fuzzy! Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all their friends are on a quest to put the “super” back in Super Grover.

There's singing and dancing and lessons about healthy habits like exercise, rest, nutritious food and good hygiene.

I have four ticket vouchers to the show, which are good for any performance at the PNC Arena.

How do you enter to win? One or both of the following:

1. Follow @WRALmoms on Twitter and tweet once about the contest.

2. Answer the following question in the comments below: Do you struggle to get your kids outside, sleep through the night, brush their teeth or eat healthy food? What healthy habit has been the hardest to teach your kids?

This contest ends at noon, May 11. One winner will be picked at random from all entries. The winner's user name or Twitter name will be posted on this post by 9 p.m. May 11 and an email or message will be sent to the winner, if possible. The winner must respond by 5 p.m. May 15 or a runner-up will be selected. Good luck!

The hardest habit we have to getting our kids to eat vegetables. They love to go outdoors. It's trying to get them to come back inside that's a struggle.

I have problems getting my 2 year old to brush her teeth. She likes when we start, but then just wants to play in the water and say "more toothpaste please"...then I end up being the bad guy and finishing the job!

The hardest healthy habit to teach for us is sleeping, especially through the night!

Brushing teeth is our biggest hurdle! She wants to do it herself and not let Mommy or Daddy help. (Almost 2yrs old) I can usually get a few strokes of the brush in before it becomes a all out melt down!

Turning off PBSKids on TV! Peep and the Big Wide World is such a hit.

My son is 15 months old. He's almost always slept through the night, loves the outdoors, and will eat just about any food we give him to try. He hates having his teeth brushed, though.

Brushing their teeth - they're really great at all the others. I think my son would live off of broccoli and beans if he could, and they sleep for nearly 12 hours each night. Teeth, though - they hate brushing!

Healthy eating is the hardest. We don't eat healthy enough ourselves and I don't like to battle with the kids about food because they are grumpier when they are hungry and hostile dinner times are miserable. We are working on incorporating more fruits and vegetables into our dinners and only offering healthy options.

Eating healthy! We have to bargain with my 2 year old to eat a green bean.

My 4 year old loves to watch cartoons, he refuses to go to sleep with out watching, I struggle with getting him to bed with a bedtime story instead of watching the tv!

My children are always eager to go out and play. I'd have to say that our biggest battle has been bedtime, and sleeping through the night.

I struggle to get the kids to eat healthy food. They love their snacks and they think that ALL juices are good for them. It has been extremely hard trying to convince them not all juices are good for you and that water is great. My boy actually believes water gives you headaches!

our son has autism, sleeps like a champ, eats everything put in front of him, but struggles socially and academically - our challenge is in learning in groups and learning to read and be independent.

The hardest thing for me is to get my 4 year old to eat healthy foods as a snack. She thinks "healthy" only pertains to mealtime. We struggle with it....but I think in time she will understand....(at least I hope) :)

Eating veggies. My kids will not touch a vegetable. I am hoping they will grow out of it. Until then I will keep trying to sneek them in where I can :)

I think the hardest for my children is eating healthy. They are both such picky eaters!!!! But they both LOVE being outside and both sleep well thank goodness!

It was hardest to teach my son to sleep through the night- he didn't make it consistently through the night until around 18 months! We tried everything, but he eventually got it :)
