Timothy has 6! and we are headed to surgical center on November 24. We NEVER had this problem with the 3 girls (lived in Laramie with flouride water, though....), didn't demand nurse (or bottle) him to sleep, brushed well, limited juice, etc. So I totally understand the frustration you have already walked through.<br /><br />As far as candy consumption, we are having a little (possibly not-so-little....) Reformation Party this year and handing out homemade gospel tracts with candy. I will let the kids eat sugary stuff at home but we aren't going out to collect mass quantities of it. You are welcome to come over and "Pin the Theses on Wittenberg's door' :).Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660414401032158829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173567909624774356.post-67657370442368402772009-10-29T09:43:55.273-06:002009-10-29T09:43:55.273-06:00Hey Cheryl,
I just found your blog off of your FB ...Hey Cheryl,<br />I just found your blog off of your FB page! Way to go... this is great!<br /><br />I guess I let the kids eat however much they want on Halloween and the next day... then I do a lot of tossing out... as I can't stand having it around either. I typically throw out what I consider "junk" candy ...keep the "cool candy" ... chocolate or Halloween themed candy. <br />I don't make them brush right after they eat it... usually drink, sometimes a warm drink. <br />Then I limit it to a 4 pieces a day for a few days. <br /><br />Anita MartinAnita and David Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693685545488785770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173567909624774356.post-81905455116556667462009-10-28T20:06:29.621-06:002009-10-28T20:06:29.621-06:00first i have to tell you...i just found your blog ...first i have to tell you...i just found your blog by clicking the "next blog" button at the top of the page. ever done that? i do from time to time. it's always interesting. i have read a few of your posts and have enjoyed them. thank you.<br /><br />but i had to put my 2 cents in about the candy thing. couldn't resist..... i was told, by a dentist, that the key is to not let them continually eat candy throughout the day(s). and also, as you said, to brush teeth after eating any. i personally can't stand the candy hanging around for weeks on end. so the husband and i have come to the decision that we let them eat as much as they can stand either that night or the next day sometime. and the rest goes away. as in- out of our house, in the garbage, wherever. as long as it's not around i don't care. we do the same thing for other holidays where candy is involved as well. it seems to work really well for us.<br /><br />sorry for the novel. :)uniquelynathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496462170655849530noreply@blogger.com
