kids and candy. update
rebecca <[email protected]>
Good morning, I met to post yesterday but Avery got really sick and
getting on the computer was not an option.
Okay, so for the past 2 days food in are house has been done a little
different, I loved the idea of the monkey platters and we made up a
couple, with different goodies on both, Jaiden and Avery loved them,
and I have been asked if we can have them every day, they eat stuff I
had no idea that they would eat. It was very cool. So on sunday I
decided that no matter what my kids ate or drank I wasn't going to
expect that "hyper behavior" I wasn't going to put all the negitive
junk my parents had put on to to me, back on to them. And damn if
there was no difference in their behavoir, until a friend of ours and
his 3 girls showed up to play, total excitement, we hadn't seen them
since before x-mas so they were all very excited, so it was not the
candy, it was the situation, major shift in thinking for me.
I do have to say that both of them have been making amazing food
choices the last few days, I never would have thought that Avery
would not eat the candy in favor of the cheeese, although Jaiden
showed him how to wrap m&ms up in cheese, <shudder> but they both
seem to like it, and thats what matters.
So, thank you all so much for your sharing your thoughts and time
with me. And thank you all for holding my hand as I struggle with
overcoming my past and thank you for jioning me on my journey to
become not just an unschooler, but a better parent.
Thank You.
