Sugar high = an inevitable sugar LOW!

A few weeks ago, I received a coupon for a free candy bar in the mail. Oliver carried it around and said it was his. So today, after gymnastics, we procured our free candy bar at the grocery store. Oliver was ravenous and against my better judgement, I let him eat almost the entire full size candy bar rounding it off with some banana and whole grain goldfish. Mind you, Oliver does not eat candy except for an occasional M&M. Sweets yes, but I sneak lots of whole grains and vegetables into those when I bake them at home. For the next hour and a half this child was driving me crazy on a sugar high. And if I thought that was bad...the inevitable sugar low rendered him nearly unrecognizable.

The video is near the end of his sugar low. After I stopped recording I fed him a nice healthy lunch while holding him and then he took a much needed nap. Poor guy! We will stick with bite size this Halloween!
