Bing!

Jeromy and I wish we had a picture of this but you will just have to imagine Lucille's reaction in your minds! Poor, sweet Lucie has been in the midst of a serious teething spree (6 days yikes!). Not amused by Helton, Mommy, or Daddy and eating scant if anything...we three (Jer, me and Helton) were getting quite worried. So in a last attempt we broke out the Arby's Jammocha Shake....a particular fav of Daddy-o's. Lucille would have not of it...with a commanding wave and a "NO NO!" she sent Daddy away. Mommy (with an equal iron) will took a spoon and shoved a bit in her small pale mouth. Everyone watched...eyes peeled for the reaction....would she like it or not?

Lu girl swirled the creamy goodness around and swallowed.....then BING! Her eyes popped 2 inches wide as she stared at us with a "More More Daddy!" Sweet Success! Lucille has fallen pray to the lie that most everything Mommy puts in her mouth has a secret "healthy" ingredient and she was also convinced all good things had been tasted and there wasn't much left on the frontier of goodness! Hahaa!

In the end we were pleased to see the calories go down and the mood improve....and yes I was smart enought to plan this at a restuarant so she doesn't realize such sweet creaminess actually exists in her freezer. In Lucille's mind only Arby's has such delight!

Today she is greatly improved in spirit and energy....no shakes needed....frozen blueberries, Fig Newmans (the best newton ever), and strawberry Emergen-C are all a girl needs! We are still holding the position that, for a tiny tike who isn't eating, a calorie is a calorie and thank the Good Lord for sweets!

As for teeth, Lucille now boasts of large canines and mighty molars!!!! (Insert Joey's tarzan yell here!)
