Sugar Overload

Today Sydney had a bucket of candy and three pepperoni for lunch (we're awesome parents right?).  By dinner time she was completely crazy.  She ate some food and wanted more candy.  Around that time she started being naughty.  She just couldn't seem to do what we asked.  By bedtime she was still all sugared up.  We asked her if she was hopped up on goofballs and crazy pills, and she replied, "No, but Mommy is."  Thanks for tattling Sydney.
While Aaron was putting her to bed she kept saying, "It's real hard to hold still!"  Poor kid!  She was trying, but she had so much sugar in her system she couldn't handle it!  Tomorrow we're back to normal living with just a few pieces of candy thrown in and at least 1 of the basic food groups in every meal.  That's how you feed your kids, right?
Guess how I eventually got her to sleep?  I swaddled her.  That's right. My 3 year old still loves to be swaddled and asks to be "wrapped like a baby" sometimes.  How cute is that?
