First thing in the morning Samuel wanted to pick his piece of candy for the day. Which of course means Shira also wanted to pick her candy for the day.
First up Skittles for both kids. Ate one each, decided they didn't like them. Two packs of Skittles in the garbage.
Second up, Starburst for Samuel, Sweet Tarts for Shira. Likewise in the garbage (though Shira had to try a second Sweet Tart to make sure she really didn't like them.)
Third, Shira went for Nerds and said she liked them, but abandoned them for her homemade yogurt, strawberry, banana popsicle after a couple of "rocks".
Samuel had already given up on candy because I was making honey whole wheat bread, and negotiated for some honey instead of a piece of candy. Which was subsequently negotiated into one and a half teaspoons of maple syrup drunk from his favorite glass.
My kids' health may just yet stand a chance against the corporate capitalist machine.

This made me smile. Caitlyn is quite clear about liking candy, but is also quite clear that the real food comes first. I can only hope that she'll eventually grow out of the artificial fruit things and stick with the chocolate!
