Well, what you see above was Isaac's first real sugar. We go to this sushi restaurant called Red Ginger fairly regularly (like twice a month, maybe.) The waitresses love Isaac and always want to hold him (they probably wouldn't even recognize Dave and I without Isaac! He steals the show.) It's the same 2 or 3 ladies every time. Each time we go, they send us home with a Dumdum sucker. It's cute. I usually store them in my purse and toss them into the candy bucket in my classroom when I get a chance, so that other peoples' kids get a sugar high, but not mine. hehe.
Well, tonight the waitress opened one of the suckers up and shoved it into Isaac's mouth. I was a little speechless, but I didn't stop her, either. Perhaps I should have, but it was kind of awkward. She's always so nice to us, and I guess it wasn't THAT big of a deal. Plus, I figured he would forget the sweet, sweet taste of sugar soon enough. Ah well, such is life. There is a first time for everything, right?
On a side note, my entire immediate family gathered at Red Ginger tonight for my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom! It was great to have us all in the same place at the same time -- that's harder and harder to do as our family grows. We are still only 10 people, with spouses, fiances, girlfriends and Isaac, but still!

PS - it was mango flavored, because I know that you are all just DYING to know.
It's hard to keep 'em from sugar -- I sometimes felt like everyone was organized against my sugar-free efforts :-) I have a father in law who'd sneak Annie ice cream or whatever he could whenever I wasn't looking :-)
Annie didn't have her first french fry until I was in the hospital in labor with Ellie, then some conspirators got her a Happy Meal and considered themselves victorious :-)
Isaac has gone to the dark side. I would love to join you guys at Red Ginger sometime. Both my and Dalan's families are so small that when we all get together....we are 12 total.
