An Open Letter to Everyone I Know
April 27, 2006
That's right. You heard me.
About Sarah
Social Media
You’ll be wanting some antifungal cream as well, as fruit can give some CRAZY diaper rash with a sort of fungal infection.
Shall I bring it tonight?
I am glad that I am not the only parent who doesn’t do juice.
You can have juice in restaurants……at home it’s water baby. And Milk.
Period.
Ahhh, juice. I remember you from such movies as “five poops a day” and “little guy’s runs.” Get some of that stuff to lumpyhead quick.
Your timing could not be better, Sarah. My folks took my daughter for the afternoon today. Apparently, they’ve taken to showing their love by purchasing inordinate amounts of juice for their lovely granddaughter. Needless to say, her stomach is killing her and I just changed one of the messiest diapers I’ve ever seen. Yikes!
If Grandma, and others, don’t *get* the juice restriction, go water the juice down. Sneak into their fridge and do it. Go ahead…I’ll wait.
Of course, you can let Ian know when he gets to be 21 he can add vodka to his juice. ; )
If they insist on giving the boy juice have them do 1/4 juice to 3/4 water. That is the standard in our household. Call it poor man’s juice.
If anyone actaully asked me before feeding him the sugar citrus water, I could tell them any of these things. They all just assume it is okay.
What about Claudia, can she have juice??
If I banned juice from this house Eric would not drink. He will not drink milk.
Our son gets the 1/4 juice 3/4 water combo. No more than two cups in the morning and two after lunch. Water & milk at all other times.
But grandma and grandpa don’t get it. So when they give him full strenght, they are left with the spaztic mess that is our son.
(Oh, and Desitin, full strength, rocks for diaper rash!)
Hey, I was with you when I bought him juice and you didn’t say anything, but now I feel totally guilty.
