Certain members of our family (ah-hem, MOM!) thought it was only appropriate that Kara get some Kara-safe candy in her Halloween pumpkin. She went to great lengths reading labels trying to find dairy and soy free candy and came up with a ideas, twizzlers being one of them. She also got some smarties. Tonight while I was making supper, Brenna was driving me crazy with wanting some candy so I finally gave in and gave her a twizzler. Nothing gets past Kara anymore so I gave her one as well. She chowed it, or so we thought. Minutes later, while setting the table, I looked over to the corner and there, on the floor, where about 20 little bites of red licorice. It's like she sucked the flavor right out of it, gave up on chewing, and spit it right out. Perfect, works for me, except for the mess that she made!
Fast forward to after supper. Brenna had been begging me about a little bag of skittles so we told her if she was a member of the clean plate club, she could have them. She doesn't let us forget anything and ate it all up. Kara saw that she had her little bowl of something good and made it clear to us in her own little language that she needed something too. What the heck, bring out the smarties! I put half the pack in front of her and she quickly ate them up so I gave her the rest. (She's going to be on a major sugar high tonight, it's more sugar than she's EVER had!) I put the rest of them in front of her and then they were gone. She literally shoved every one of them in her mouth, like if she didn't quickly eat them, we'd take them away! I kept putting my hand under her mouth trying to get her to spit them out but she wasn't going to give them up!
