i'm trying really hard to focus on mykah's eating habits. this girl has an eye for junk food and it easily takes over. i have to be very careful with her. she hasn't felt well for a month or so now and i'm trying to really crack down on what goes into her mouth. i only let her drink water and an occasional chocolate milk with sugar free chocolate syrup. and i make her eat her fruits & veggies all gone at every meal. i've never forced them to eat all of their food, but i now know that i have to force this one to eat the healthy food on her plate at all meals.
now, that being said, i also want my children to be happy and to be able to give them things that they like. we don't buy ice cream. we don't buy cookies. we don't bake cakes. so, to fulfill this girls sweet tooth today, i gave her a small bowl of light cool whip with some sprinkles.
she. was. in. heaven.
Grace really likes the dessert yogurts... boston cream pie, dreamsicle, red velvet... if she likes yogurt, that might be a good "treat" to add! Sprinkles are great in yogurt, too!
