I used to bring Charlie to the corner deli... the guys there (Abdul, Ravi, Tony, and Sylvio) all love him and give him free candy!

But after reading an article in the NYT about how sugar can cause toddler tooth rot, we decided to stop bringing him to the deli. (Well also, I didn't like how spoiled Charlie seemed when he begged for candy.) Charlie still asks to see Abdul all the time though! Sorry kiddo... your teeth are more important than sugary bliss!

We recently started teaching Charlie the days of the week though, so we have been telling him that on "Friday" he can see Abdul. Now he asks me if it's Friday all the time! Well today is Friday, so I can't wait to pick up Charlie from daycare today!

How often do you get candy for your LO?
