Sugar

So my 2 older boys, Derek & Dax, have Sam & I completely spoiled!! These boys, for the most part, have been so easy going.  They mind well, they are polite, they are pretty well mannered...the only problem we've really had is they do not care to do well in school.

Sugar/caffeine has never been an issue with Derek & Dax. As young children, we could give them soda, candy, heck even a sip of coffee here & there & there would be no side effects.  So of course, now that I have these two little ones, Duncan & Decklan, I don't think its a big deal to give them candy early evening or some soda for dinner.  Boy have we been slapped in the face!!

On Saturday night, I brought home some candy for the boys as a treat - they were up until midnight! Last night, I gave Decklan 1/3 cup of Coke - he was up until after 11!!!

So needless to say, lesson has been learned! No caffeine or sugar for these little boys, especially after 3pm!
