I'm one of thoes mothers

I don't see the point in giving evelyn sweets and saycare has quite a few items on the menu that I don't care for her eating for nutritional reasons and sugar content. Jason admittedly lets her eat alot more than I do and will make pancakes on the weekends fairly frequently though he does not give her syrup. they have pancakes french toast and waffles once a week (each) and though once a month they do whole wheat pancakes I'm not sure that it is much better. and I have seen the teachers put on lots of syrup. So I still bring in breakfast almost every morning (usually pureed fruit, oatmeal or musli and yogurt. I also hae a bos of crackers on hand (Kashi roasted veggie, amy's grham bunnies or veggie goldfish) for a snack in case they are having cookies as a snack which they do way too often. Really she is not old enough to know the difference and she loves her crackers. Really I wonder why the daycare of all plases makes such bad decisions for the kids food. I figure Evelyn will soon eat enough junk on her own and there is no point in getting her started now. My hope is that better choices now mean that she will still eat some of the good stuff with the junk when she has the decision to make.
