Complaint
I'm going to whine a bit. I really like chocolate and other desserts. Caleb does too. However, I eat my meal while Caleb often does not. He never eats veggies and only occasionally fruits. He does get a descent amount of carbs, good fats, calcium, etc from his diet of peanut butter sandwiches, cheese, whole grain crackers, and chocolate milk (with very little chocolate....we're trying to be healthy). However, when and how do I eat my desserts--which, I know is selfish, but I'm just not willing to give up?! I either have to sneak them while he's not looking or eat them in front of him. It's a tough situation. Today I ate some chocolate chips before he finished his lunch. He saw me and wanted some immediately. I told him he had to eat his peanut butter and honey first. He actually did this time. Maybe we're all just going to have to be healthier...is that realistic? :)

oh goodness, such a valid question in my opinion. I'm lucky cause Ethan loves fruits and some veggies, but I have trouble getting him to eat meat. I guess you will just have to sneak them or give them up, or wait till he eats his food and then eat the sweets with him.... I remember how much you love chocolate chips, so I don't know how realistic it is to give it up... i like chocolate too. :) good luck. right now i'm having troubles with Grandpa giving into ethan and giving him ice cream before he's eaten his dinner. raising children is hard!
I do a lot of time hiding behind the pantry door. I should just give them up, but I think I am addicted! Scratch that. I KNOW I am addicted.
