At 16 months Dylan has had NO candy, chocolate only in the form of a taste of cake at birthday parties, and only part of an Eat N Park smiley cookie.

And I have gotten "that look" many times before. It's not that I want them sugar-free, I would rather be the one that spontaneously drops by the ice cream store, but I can't because they just ingested 13 lbs. of sugar. The one that kills me is church. They hand out a "snack" which equals candy or cookies right before the service. Ya, good plan. 3 boys sit really still filled with sugar.Texashollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982077447405220888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-50549905112258502392008-03-26T09:29:00.000-07:002008-03-26T09:29:00.000-07:00Fairly annoyed?

And even then it took her awhile to discover there was candy INSIDE the plastic eggs. So of course, her brother was approximately 11 months old when she fed him his first bit of chocolate. And we potty trained her using the bribe of pink jelly beans (sigh). We keep a supply of hershey kisses on hand for a chocolate emergency (usually mine), but only if they ask, and they don't ask every day.<BR/>What we get odd looks about is that we don't allow them to have soda. It appalls me to see kids who can barely walk sucking down a medium MOUNTAIN DEW at Burger King. People look at me very strangely when I order the kids' meals with applesauce and milk instead of fries and soda (or pop as it's called around here). I'm from Tennessee, where everything is a Coke.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-23637818231287763542008-03-26T07:55:00.000-07:002008-03-26T07:55:00.000-07:00You are SUCH a bad mother! ;-) I am always amaze...You are SUCH a bad mother! ;-) I am always amazed by how willing everyone is to tell you how to live!Karen Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540617923517042598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-24799712699257180102008-03-26T06:29:00.000-07:002008-03-26T06:29:00.000-07:00So your damned if you do, damned if you don't?So your damned if you do, damned if you don't?Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-11559273467768863382008-03-26T05:57:00.000-07:002008-03-26T05:57:00.000-07:00THANK-YOU from one buzz killer to another.MY kids ...THANK-YOU <BR/>from one buzz killer to another.<BR/>MY kids have never really even eaten chocolate and you are right, candy is everywhere.
