One of the things we are most proud of is Sweet Pea’s diet. With so many unhealthy choices out there it can be so easy to fall into going a full day eating sweets and only stuff from cans and packages. And if you knew us before we had Sweet Pea, you would know that all we ate was frozen dinners and McDonald’s. Ok…that is an exaggeration. But you get the picture. Going from that to actually preparing fresh, healthy food is a challenge.

And along with eating healthy food comes eating no sweets. Well…yesterday I had the urge to bake cookies and I indulged myself for the first time since before Sweet Pea was born. And they were good. So good that both hubby and I have been eating them nonstop. They are just sitting on a plate on the counter and as we walk by we grab one and eat it.

This afternoon the three of us were playing in the living room. All of a sudden Sweet Pea jumps up and runs off into the kitchen. He comes back in with this huge grin on his face and a cookie in his hand! If you need a sign that your children are growing up, here is one: they can reach the kitchen counter while standing on their tip toes. So we let him eat and he loved it! Needless to say, I will not be baking more cookies any time soon. They are much too loved in this household.
