Thomas doesn’t usually get much processed sugar.  He gets most of his sugar from fruit, and that is his dessert at night.  However, sometimes he gets a cookie or ice cream as a special treat.  Tonight, he had half a cookie at a Superbowl party.  The results were exhausting.  The cookie in question had a ton of pink frosting, and he was covered in pink and needed a bath. I decided to take him home for a quick bath, then head back to the party with his pj’s on since we were only next door.

Well, he didn’t want to leave the party.  He wanted more cookie.  So, I took him home kicking and screaming.  When we got in the house, I turned on the bath water, thinking he would get excited for his bath.  No, he only wanted to brush his teeth.  He spent the next 20 minutes playing with his two toothbrushes.  He ran them under the water, brushed a bit, ran them under the water some more.  I could not get his shirt off, but otherwise managed to get him undressed. I ended up calling my husband to come in and help me.  Of course, he was fine for Daddy!   He let him finish his bath and put pajamas on him.  In the meantime, I had to take a break on the couch and they went back to the party.  It will be a while before this kid gets a cookie again!
