A Story for Grandma....

My mother thinks we don't feed Georgie enough ice cream and butter. Seriously.

Last night Aaron made an emergency run for ice cream, and when he came in the door holding a carton of Ben & Jerry's, Georgie made a very fast beeline for him, fervently did a sign for "eat" (hand to mouth) over and over again, and was hot on his heels into the kitchen. She knew EXACTLY what was in that carton. We gave her a bite (only one bite because we didn't want her to have caffeine [ever] or lots of sugar [right before bed]). I gave her some yogurt with some raspberry jelly mixed in with it, but I'm not sure she was tricked.

From Gramma............ A new trick for Georgie and Nikki. She might like the yogurt better next time, to add some ice cream, only a little 3 - 4 tsp. and the ice cream flavor WITHOUT caffeine... It would do her good (and would REALLY do the gramma good) Seriously, I know you are doing all the right things, but a little treat is good for all, at times.

Thanks, mom. That's a good idea to mix in ice cream with yogurt. I know you think we're doing a good job with her, I was just kidding :)

Also, 3-4 teaspoons of ice cream would be a LOT to add! Or maybe that's your point.... She doesn't eat very much at a time.
