Today I got up early to make some homemade peach syrup and French toast for breakfast. Thought a nice, filling breakfast would help us start our lazy Sunday off right...
Carter, you see, is a HUGE fan of condiments. ANY condiment - ketchup, soy sauce, mustard, salad dressing, syrup, you name it. We usually appease him by giving him a dab here and a dab there, but NEVER, EVER large amounts of syrup...
Today, however, since the syrup I made was mostly pureed peaches, we gave him a nice big scoop. He LOVED it. And ate it up like a champ!!
Until, that is, I made the mistake of giving him another spoonful before I hopped up to use the restroom. Matt must have been engrossed in reading the newspaper and didn't notice when Carter took his breakfast plate and smeared it into his HAIR!!! My archnemesis (Mr. Sticky) was now out in full force:
A few close-up shots of Mr. Sticky:
But the BEST part of the whole mega-syrup ingestion debacle... He was TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY HYPED UP ON SUGAR!! He was chatting like a goober, swinging his head to and fro, and was pretty much high as a kite! Couple short videos (first one is 16 seconds, second is 19) from breakfast to prove it:So he went straight to the bath and got de-stickified. While picking out his clothes after the bath, I left him in his crib, only to turn around to see him jumping up and down. Guess we know that sugar and 17-month-olds don't mix, eh?
Happy dining!

ReplyDeleteSorry, had to say it... never thought I'd see the day you fed syrup to your kid! Ewwwww (though Greta's hair looks like that after just about every meal).
