Yesterday was a fun-filled day for our family. First we had my grandmother's 90th birthday party around lunchtime, and then we headed straight into the city to meet more family around Henry's dinner time.
Henry was so overwhelmed at the party, that I only got him to eat about 2 noodles and a few bites of tuna fish for lunch...and only while my 11 year old nephew showed him Elmo on his cellphone. After that Henry discovered the fruit platter - yay! And proceeded to eat loads of watermelon. I thought we were in pretty good shape...the party was waning and Henry had yet to discover the cake and cookie table. And then, as we were cleaning up, he spotted the cookies. I figured we were fine - one cookie is definitely okay. But then he also ate a piece of a chocolate rugelach. And then around 4PM, as we were heading out the door, I spotted him with my 6 year old nephew eating another giant cinnamon rugelach. When I asked my nephew what happened he said, "I was getting a cookie, and then Henry said "cookie", and reached it all by himself!" (My nephew was very proud of his baby cousin). At this point I realized I had no idea what Henry had been eating all day...
I decided to pack yogurt for our little trip to the city, but as was expected Henry was too full from all the baked goods to eat anything else. I'm just hoping today is a bit more balanced...
Happy and (mostly) healthy eating!
