While not a great shot because it was taken in a darkened hall with the iPhone last weekend, this here image is what my Hubby likes to refer to as proof. As he so eloquently put it, “Let the record show that Mommy gave Mr. Man his first french fry. At the fair.”
It’s all down hill from here little dude.
This I toyed with in Photoshop. Because I can. And it’s fun.

In many of my positive discipline/positive parenting books and even a couple of the lectures I’ve attended, there are some misconnects when it comes to allowance, chores and the rules inbetween. One belief goes to lengths about how children should get allowances regardless of whether they did their chores or not, as they’re considered a […]
Anyone with experience with toddlers knows the day is filled with these little beings grabbing, touching and doing anything their little hearts desire. The toddler years are filled with exploration, spontaneity, and often a complete lack of self-preservation. The challenge on parents’ and caregivers’ end is trying to protect toddlers from themselves or from hurting […]
How do you remember to be thankful, when from the moment you’re woken in the morning until exhaustion takes you at night you struggle to be somewhat productive and do right by your family, boss, PTA, neighbors, pets, beliefs, convictions, etc. and so on? When every thought and task is interrupted at least twice and […]
What do you do when your child starts lying? For me the first instinct was to get really mad. But I had to cool myself off and give it a good long think. I was a constant liar when I was a child. It wasn’t until I reached my adult years that I learned from […]
Today I’m handing of the controls to Nancy Parker, a nanny and writer who wanted to offer some advice on finding a nanny who uses positive discipline. What she offers in just a beginning, but the points she makes are none the less important to keep in mind. Take it away Nancy. Finding the perfect […]

Those were some darn tasty fries, I tell you what. Yummmmmmmy!
Your kid is too cute. And who doesn’t love french fries! My son, who loves SALAD and weird healthy stuff, is addicted to the FFs. Which is a heck of lot easier to give him at an airport than say, radishes.

Why thank you so much. What, you can’t find radishes at the airport? That cracked me up, given I work for an airline. I’m loving that your dude is into the healthy stuff. Does he have any advice on how I can talk my Hubby into the same habit?
Well seriously, what better place than the fair to have your first french fry?? I mean c’mon, it’s a right of passage!! And he’s just too cute….like, a total heartbreaker!!
:-))

Thanks Mayor. Yes, he is a handsome dude. I realized after posting that second shot that even though he was standing on this ledge that wend around the planter, he sort of looked like one of those rodeo cowboys standing at a fence, with one leg up on the fence. He’s going to have the girls chasing after him in no time. I just hope his sister doesn’t train him to ignore women by then.

Honestly, I worry about my hubby’s obsession with all things that will make you fat, clog your arteries and kill you. Or give you diabetes. Or, better yet, all of the above. So I worry that that if the kids are offered too much of that crap, they’ll build unhealthy eating habits too. I’m a bit neurotic that way, I guess. We actually eat pretty healthy so there hasn’t been much opportunity to offer him these yummy deep fried potatoes from heaven. Everything in moderation. I have a feeling his next one will be not so far in the future, given mommy’s regular cravings of McDonald’s fries of all things.
