Brooke received some Valentines at school on Friday ... and one of them had a sucker in it. Some of the kids were eating theirs on the way out of class, and I knew I couldn't hide this one from her. Brooke has had a very limited amount of candy in her life, maybe 5 pieces in total. It's not that we dont allow her treats, because the kid almost lives off of Goldfish and fruit snacks. We just dont give her the pure junk - the stuff without any sort of value.
She was so interested in this lollipop. She kept talking about it and asking for it! So, I told her we could have it when she got home from school. I kind of thought she would eat a bit of it and get bored, but nope! She sat there and licked the thing until it was gone :) Here she is with her first (and last, at least until I get stuck in another situation like that again) lollipop!
