Love this post, Ophira! I can’t believe our kids are as old as they are. Thanks for the reminder to not be such a candy cop and let my kid get ill on sugar every now and again. It might be one of the best parts of childhood. My memories are dense with Jolt floats and mixing mouthfuls of Skittles and popcorn at sleepovers and thinking it was the best thing ever, then waking up with a sugar hangover/headache. What good times!
I too ate probably just chips and candy for an entire summer? I really try to not let my kid overdo it with the candy (candy cop!! ha) but sometimes letting it slide....why not?
