For the Love of Chocolate

Unlike Conall, Caitlin isn't a huge fan of sweets or ice cream. But, she does like, no, she loves chocolate. I'm supposed to be adding fats and sugar to her food to up the calories and get her to gain more weight. Unfortunately, Caitlin doesn't really like that. She likes her carrots plain. She'll only eat part of a cookie. She'd prefer fruit to candy.


I had an idea when we were at the grocery store the other day and the stocker told Caitlin how lucky she was to be on the ice cream aisle. I told him that she didn't really like ice cream and he went on about how there were also cookies, pies and cakes in this part of the freezer section and surely Caitlin's mommy could find her something she liked. I LOVE Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream and I'm not a huge ice cream fan. Sure enough, Caitlin LOVES it, too. She kept asking for more and more and more. She ate spoonful after spoonful.

That's precious! Did you just drop her straight into the bathtub when she was done? LOL

By the way, I'm thinking of going on the Ben & Jerry's diet myself. Oh, wait. That's the diet I'm already on!

Yep, pretty much! She's out of the high chair and to the point where every meal is a horrible mess.
