Sugar high...


we had a great weekend. Eli wasn't teething and he is walking all over the place now. yes, i can safely say that this weekend, we were the typical American nuclear family. Then, last night, i got the bright idea to give my son a small slice of chocolate cake. he loved it. he licked almost every last piece he could find on his hands. then i cleaned him off and got him out of the highchair. then, he went mad. he started screaching and laughing and pacing back and forth. the pacing was a little un-nerving because he just learned to walk so he was walking in the little frankenstein way that new walkers like to walk. he was a maniac. he had cake before at his birthday party and he didnt have this kind of rush. it must have been the cake. it came from market street and i think it was double chocolate or something. i only gave him a little bitty slice but i packed a heck of a punch. lessoned learned.

I just read this today and I have to tell you another good one. When Jacob was about one year old, Dirk gave him a 12 oz can of Mellow Yellow. He downed it fast and I don't think he has gotten over it yet. The kid was jumping everywhere and giggling and eyes jumping out of his head. I threatened Dirks' life and now Jacob loves Mt Dew. Almost as bad.
Good luck with the sugar rush. Now that he knows what it is, he will want more. Just like we all do.
Love ya, Jamie
