No need to feel guilty

Yesterday on the way home from school K requested an ice cream treat. It had been a number of months since we had an ice cream treat and since it would be impossible to get back in the car after dinner ... we decided to let her eat ice cream before dinner. She loved it. We went to Rick's in Palo Alto and they had an ice cream flavor - tiger tail which sounded exciting. K of course wanted tiger tail (orange ice cream with chocolate) but as the three of us were sharing and I am not sure she was really interested in orange ice cream I went with a tried and tested flavor (cashew praline) and tried to rename it as bunny bump. No luck... She kept looking at it and saying not bunny bump. Regardless she enjoyed it immensely.

I felt a bit guilty about the pre dinner treat even though she ate a great dinner until this morning. We had her two year check up and she is doing great. No need for a shot (as we needed an extra month from the last booster) and even better she won't need shots for Bali or Singapore. It was neat to see her become a big girl - using the big girl scale, big girl measuring tape etc. No baby left. It is nice to know that we are doing ok with our girl... an occasional ice cream is ok.
