Eighty had to have a shot today at the doctors office 💉💉💉💉

(My English dad replies “Doctors give kids shots these days? Tequila or sambuca?” 🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂)

She took it like a Champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 No tears, she just squeezed her eyes shut tight and said “Ouchie” 😊😊😊😊😊

Her arm has been so sore so I was offering her ice cream and lots of other treats. She said NO, she needs immune system foods to help her body feel good 🦠🦠🦠🦠

Her dinner request?

Oranges, blueberries, pineapple, broccoli, avocado, mushrooms and ramen with tofu 🍊🫐🍍🥦🥑🍄🍜

I’ll serve it up with a sneaky side of 🍪🍪🍪🍪

@Raffiki Ummm...good, but I was referring to trying to force her to have cookies when she's making great choices without that.

She's getting sugar in her oranges, blueberries, pineapple, and seems to not be suffering from a chocolate deficit (assuming your chocolate chip cookie icon was what was meant lol).

"Homemade" doesn't mean the cookies were made without sugar (& chocolate, for chocolate chip cookies).

You've done a GREAT job of raising a kid who does NOT reach for pop & chips & candy as her "go-to" foods. So don't sour the mix with unneeded sweets--she's on the way to a LONG, happy, HEALTHY life because of *you*! Rejoice in that amazing gift to her.

@SomeMichGuy That is true, but she’s meant to be on a high calorie diet and the cookies are oat based with PB. If she chooses a low calorie dinner like today, I try to give her something alongside it that will boost the calories :)
