Popsicles!

Jack has discovered popsicles and his adoration runs deep. When we were grocery shopping last week, Jack was pushing around the kiddie cart and helping us check off our shopping list. He was also randomly putting things into his cart that he found interesting or desirable. We obviously put all of those things back until Jack put a popsicle mold in his cart. Being the pushovers that we are, we caved and let him get it. Of course it was all he could talk and think about for the next few days so we eventually got around to making popscicles. Now Mommy tries to limit Jack's sugar intake because if he were given free reign he would eat ice cream and M&M cookies for every meal. Therefore, we used V-8 Fusion Strawberry Banana juice and Jack was hooked. Seriously, we killed 2 birds with 1 stone because Jack gets his treat AND a full serving of fruits and veggies! The funny part about the whole thing was that Jack had no idea how to actually eat a popsicle. When I handed it to him, he wrapped his hands around the popsicle itself and looked at to try to figure out how to eat it. Once I showed him though he had no problems going forward!
