We’ve been avoiding giving Atti any sugar, not because we’re evil parents who hate childhood, but more because I wanted to put off a fight as long as I could. This poor kid has me forcing so many things that are good for him, if he knew that sugar existed in the world, getting him to eat the few bites of spinach I can cram down his throat would only be that much harder. As long as he was unaware of sugar, it was one less thing I had to say no to.
I finally broke my prohibition the other day during a super traumatic doctor visit (more about that later), so when Bear made homemade Snickerdoodles this weekend, I figured I could be a nice mom and at least feel okay that there was no corn syrup involved.
Atti’s a fan.
Awwwwwwww, look at that face! He's so cute!I hate traumatic doctor visits. I've had my fair share of them so I'm sending loads of good vibes over!
Oh my GOSH!!! What a great pic! GO Atti, get those Snickerdoodles… darn cute!
Look at that little face!!!!!!!I too hate traumatic doctor's app.Don't beat yourself up your a good mom.I too avoided sugar , plus a ton of stuff she was soooo allergic to.You feel like such a mean Mom when you call another parent or teacher etc.. to pre warn them about the situation.She had to have canned fruit when everyone else had chocolate cake, explain that to a young child and see if you dont feel mean.You love that baby boy and your doing a good job!Diane
Too cute…looks like he's slamming his fist down saying "hey…where had you been hiding these"!LOL
I have to say that your boy is so, so gorgeous!
He is so adorable! That face is precious! Look at it this way
Now you can bribe him with something you KNOW he likes!
LAH LAH LAH… to Doctors…Ahh look at Atti, he loves sugar… more more more… Next time make it chocolate, that is a great photo op, I have some gorgeous pics of Amy smarmed in chocolate…
You should read up on spirulina. It's a blue green algae and I buy it in powder form to mix with juice. A little funky but has helped with several medical issues and gives me great amounts of enery and it's natural. It certainly won't "cure" anything but has made life more bearable for me.Good luck!
i have followed your blog for a while but i must say that..that is the cutest picture of atti! i think he is the cutest little boy next to my little girl who is also turning 2 feb 10th (my birthday). take care and keep doing what you doing girl….things will be alright. sonia
That post-cookie face is priceless.
