Help We Are Raising Our First Child Vegan? Need your advice

Many of you have been following my blog now for awhile (Hi everyone), and so you know I like to keep everyone up to date on things happening in our little Veggie Universe. But today I have something a little different, and more personal to talk about. On July 28th, my wife and I had our first child together. He's the most amazing thing in the world, and we have just been soaking in so much love. But the planner type in me is already thinking how are we going to do this vegan? We can control everything now, as he's being breastfed, and the daycare we will attend is willing to accommodate our lifestyle. So it looks like everything is smooth sailing, right? Well maybe, but I'm still nervous about EVERYTHING. Like when he gets older, and he goes over to a friends house, or when family offers him meat; et cetera.  

Questions for you guys:

• Are there any children stories/media out there that advocate our lifestyle?
• Do your children ever struggle with not eating what some of their friends are eating?
• At what age do you begin teaching your kids about the morality of not eating animals?
• Any good blogs that you know of, that have other vegan parents I can follow?
• Most Importantly: Plant Based Parents, What do you do?

I was wondering if any of you are Vegan/Vegetarian parents, and how you teach it to your children? The more I know now, the better I'll be prepared to really tackle this as he gets older.
