M&M's

My daughter is a relatively healthy eater.  She LOVES fruits and veggies and she eats pretty much whatever we eat for dinner.  Sometimes I feel like I should do a better job with her meals as far as being kid friendly as such, but then I am proud of us, as parents, exposing her to all kinds of foods.  Then it's also great that I don't have to stress when we do go out to eat. The Grandma's always freak out and want to make sure we go to a kid-friendly place - worst! First of all M is so excited to be out and about that she could care less about eating and second, that girl will eat shrimp, fish, steak and chicken, so we can eat anywhere.

Ok, sorry, I got off track.  Anyway, my daughter woke up Sunday morning and the first thing out of her mouth was "M, M's"  That's right she wanted M&M's. Poor little girl must have been dreaming about them all night. So we went downstairs and I gave her a few M&M's while I made breakfast.  Was this the right thins to feed my child first thing in the morning?  No, of course not, but she was happily entertained while I cooked a pretty healthy breakfast of french toast, sugar free syrup and fresh berries. 

I always remember to pick my battles. I love seeing my daughter smile - which she pretty much does 24/7 anyway and that makes me feel like a pretty good mom right there.
