Sebastian just turned one in February. For Easter we made sure to give him (just a little) candy we felt he was developed enough to eat. So he got to taste milk chocolate M&M's for the first time.
Oh, chocolate... I was really good about keeping sweets out of my daughter's hands, but when she was about two, I made a statement about her never having had chocolate and my best friend looked at me and said 'oh, you think so'--apparently cookies flowed freely at their house... Kids do love candy.
I was like that with my first son, then my mom said the same thing. :) I don't mind candy as long as it's highly regulated, but I don't want it to become the forbidden fruit, either. It's a hard line to walk.
What a cheeky grin! He's just a month younger than my niece. She's a cheeky monster too!

He is nothing but grin's this boy. Smiles and dimples, even when he's sick. It's amazing.
DeleteI think he's enjoying them!
ReplyDeleteHe really is. He was surprised by them first, but then he got used to them really quick.

DeleteHow cute..he has them all lined up too. I do that with sweets. I must be the only person in the world who doesn't like m&ms, am I crazy?
ReplyDeleteIs it an M&M thing or a chocolate thing? I don't really like milk chocolate, myself, so I can understand. A good dark chocolate, on the other hand ...
Deletehi carrie, i think its an m&m thing...i like chocolate buttons. i dont know if you can get them in the USA though.
DeleteI think you can get the buttons in a chocolate shop, but not a regular grocery store. They're probably better there, anyway, with less processing.
