Donuts

I am feeling the need to defend myself before I post these photos.  Since I've become a mother I have noticed that there is scrutiny (and judgment passing) around what parents should let their children eat.  Mike and I are active, at a healthy BMI (well, when I'm not 7+ months pregnant) and neither of us has ever struggled with a weight issue. So I say, 'let the kid be a kid and everything in moderation'.

No, this donut is not organic and the chocolate is not carob. It's a plain 'ole, greasy, sugar-laden donut from Dunkin Donuts. 

And for what it's worth, I also let him have candy, hot dogs, potato chips, french fries and chocolate milk.  Quick, someone call CPS.

Good for you. He is just a normal little guy with no health issues so let him enjoy a healthy life style.

I totally agree with you! We let Hunter eat everything, but like you said, in moderation. Hunter eats hotdogs, chocholate milk, we even let him have a tootsie pop! The dr even told us he's slim for his age so obviously we're doing something right! Plus everything he eats, he runs it off because he's so darn active!

I can see why you would be defensive. I just cannot ignore this post without voicing my criticism. Dunkin Donuts instead of Krispy Kreme? Seriously? I'm offended and I hope Hudson grows up with better judgment.

Trish, I know.... In my defense, Mike's parents bought the donuts...they are from NY state so they don't know any better (yet).

Oh, good. I can hang up now. CPS has had me on hold all morning.
