Photohunt #17 Candy

This will make the dentist very happy. It means business! (no offense meant to the dentists reading this)

But really, I don’t normally give my 2-year old son some candies.  I’m a mean Mama, I know. But one day, this mean Mama accidentally bumped her head on the wall and realized to make a concession in that department.

This was Matt’s first time to try one. Taken last month - a day after we attended a birthday party. That lollipop was included in the loot bag. Usually, I give the candies to other kids and keep the toys for him but not this time. It was love at first lick for Matt -but I haven’t given him any since then. *Mean Mama mode is ON*

    I like that shot a lot. The effect of closing in on the candy and part of his fact is great.

    That is a fantastic shot. And don’t worry about him liking candy - just emphasize that after eating it, he must brush his teeth. I took a different take on the topic today, so come on over and take a look. ;D

    Amazing you can keep your kid away from candy so long. I like to give sweet treats to little kids. :)

    Cute shot!
    How fun to be able to introduce our kids to the good things in life. There are not many of those things left at my children’s age….but I do remember loving to introduce them to things I have enjoyed.

    Mean Mommy is often confused with Concerned Mommy! You continue to do what is best for yours! They will thank you…eventually…one day…maybe!!!

    My mom was never strict about candy or sweets - she let us have candy and soda pretty much whenever. Now I don’t even eat candy (although I do drink 1 soda a day) and I believe that the reason I can control myself around sugar is because it was never a big deal in my house. I think if I have kids I’ll do that same. Then again, maybe not. Who knows!
