The Chosen

He was to be our unspoiled vessel.

Our protected and pampered perfect fourth son.

The one child never introduced to junk food--the healthiest of us all.

And then we went to San Diego last October and Aunt Bethy fed him "Swirls" chocolate frozen yogurt.  (Not a terrible start to a life long sugar habit in my opinion...it is quite yummy, afterall.)

And then to clinch matters, there was this:

 Sammy left his (M&M tube-given-as-a-prize-at-a-party) candy out.
 Based on family statistics, it's all down hill from here.  Next thing I know he'll be sneaking spoons-full of white sugar from the pantry!
"Why didn't someone tell me about this stuff before???"



Oh well.  


Better luck next kid*.


*There will me no next kid until/unless someone gives me a baby girl**.  


**GIVE ME A BABY GIRL!!!

  2. You make me laugh so hard! Your blog is therapy for us boy laden families. Even though we love our boys. Truly.

  4. My motto: if the M&Ms keep the kid quiet, sprinkle them all over the house and never vacuum!

  5. HAHA! I just had my fourth boy 8 weeks ago. I do not anticipate him being any healthier than the rest. I keep having to remind his brothers not to feed him real food!
