Bouncing off the Walls
Took a trip today with the wife and Baby L to see the inlaws. We spent all day with them, and later in the evening, we all went to Pizza by the Pound for some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten.
But before we get to talking about the Pizza by the Pound experience, let me prep you by saying Baby L usually eats food, cooked and pureed by the wife. No pre-packaged baby food with tons of extra sugars. Well… we fed her two giant jars of the sugar packed baby food, which definitely made for an interesting night. LOL.
Now… we leave for Pizza by the Pound (ends up being 7 of us and Baby L). The booth we all sit at is only made to hold 4 people, but we all cram ourselves into it, because no other tables are open. I now know what sardines feel like.
Eventually a group leaves and we get to move to another booth, but this only allows for the usual 5 people, so yes…. we are still packed in like rats. And to top everything off… Baby L’s visit with the sugar monster has left her so hyper, we can’t hold her still for the whole hour and a half that we are at the restaurant. What a crazy night. Good food, but definitely glad it’s over.
If I’ve learned one thing from this little experience. Never feed Baby L the pre-packaged sugar laden baby food ever again.

WE? Wait, did you say WE? - Hmm…if memory serves me right *I* wrangled a squirmy and hyper baby L while you shoveled down delicious pizza?
HA! But, the pizza was darn good! Good times
I’m kind of glad that you see now WHY I don’t feed her loads of processed foods.

I’am glad you are doing a blog about being a dad, I thank more dad’s need to do this. They will understand by writeing things down, you make something L. can read latter when she is older ., and you will remenber to, what it was like. I,am glad Ashley is a good mom and understands there are foods and toys that are not good for her baby, like it was when we raised our babys we just took that what was out there was good.
