I almost hate to add a post to my blog because I love pulling the site up (of course it's my home page) and immediately seeing that great picture of Grace sitting in her chair at the beach.
But I have to comment about what I saw at the grocery store the other day. I went to Tom Thumb the day after we returned from vacation because of course we were out of just about everything. I had to get some more baby food and had planned to try some of the Gerber organic stuff (I typically buy baby food at Whole Foods, but only wanted to make one store trip on a Sunday afternoon). But I discovered that the regular Gerber stuff was on sale, plus I had coupons for it so I figured just this once I'd buy non-organic. I'd actually read an article saying that baby food is low on the list of stuff you should buy organic, I think because there's a short travel time between farm and the jar or something like that.
Anyway, I'd picked out my jars of veggies for the boy and was looking for the fruit options. I found these 4-packs, which of course weren't included on my coupons so I kept looking for the single jars. So I finally look and discover "Apple Banana" only then to see "dessert" after it. Same thing with "Dutch Apple" (dessert), "Fruit Medley" (dessert), "Banana Yogurt" (dessert), "Peach Cobbler" (dessert), etc. Gerber trumpets how these are all fortified with Vitamin C, but these all have ADDED SUGAR. WHO NEEDS TO FEED A BABY DESSERT??? What an insane idea.

Well, we also let Alex have ice cream (I'm not a sugar nazi), but he gets just tastes of ours, and it's certainly not on a regular basis (and I certainly don't try to make myself feel like it's something good for my kid!). Hmm, if David had luck with the sleeping-through-the-night-with-ice cream theory, we might have to try that.
Yep, ice cream, got all the kids sleeping through the night, and loving ice cream. I think the second part made David even prouder. A respect for ice cream is very important to him as a father.
