Maddy minus sugar = calmer child?

Think so? I hope so!

I have been really wondering if M's diet is contributing to her hyperactivity. I am starting to cut out some sugars, such as limiting the amount of chocolate milk, apple juice, cheeze-its, trying to get her to have (or try) fruits and veggies. I am going to commit myself to making dinner more often (once is more often than never, right?). That way, I can have her try some veggies since she hasn't tried any yet.

The other thing that I am going to do is buy that book "Deceptively Delicious" that I posted about before. My friend Casey got it already and is about to try the recipes. I'll let you know what she thinks about it and how her kids respond.
