Sorry must of missed this post.

These kids are the ones that stay glued to the food tables at parties and scoff the lollybags in the car on the way home from parties.
I hear that one all the time, but with my dd she never had sugar until her first cake at 1! *she spat it out. Cordial *very very diluted at 4... She also still to this day, brings home the lolly bags from parties and offers it to me.. If I do not take it, it ends up in our baking drawer and I usually chuck it a month later. We were very strict with sugar intake when she was younger. So not the case all the time. Thank god. : ) I still get amazed looks when she orders water at a restaurant or says no thanks to dessert. Not to mention those that insist I am denying her of a childhood. HA. I just smile and nod... : )

Now she is old enough to make *most* choices on her own. She will never make the right choice all the time but as long as she makes the right choice most of the time, I am happy. : )
