I've succumbed. Cash and I got McDonald's on the way home from playgroup the other day. I've never done that before. I feel like I just gave in to something. The big monster with golden arches. Am I a bad mom? It's probably just like the time I felt like I was giving in when I gave him the pacifier sooner than they had told me I could when I left the hospital. That turned out to be ok though. I guess that act alone won't confine my child to a fate of obesity and consumerism. Yet. The problem is - we both liked it. :)
We went to the grand opening of the nearest and only Costco in Wisconsin last night- about 25 miles away. The whole way there I could not figure out their strategy - not close enough to a big city, in my opinion, out in farm country (they grow their own stuff - why would they need Costco's produce on steroids?), stupid location, blah, blah, blah. Then we saw the parking lot. Apparently they're not having any problem getting business. Apparently I don't know what I'm talking about. Parking lot was filled to capacity, 400 people through the door every half an hour. It was madness. I sure enjoyed spending the first hour just getting all the millions of samples, though. Ryan wasn't as patient as I was to wait in long lines for a sample. But come on, they even had rootbeer floats!

It's all over now Jenn. Cash will be pushing 300 lbs by 5 years old. Sorry honey you succommed.
I remember waiting until Bailey was like 2 or 3 YEARS OLD to give her fries at McDonalds, and was freaking out when she first had a few...:) haha Im sure Claire had them at 6 months!:)
I only wish I could resist the urge to just rush out and get dinner or lunch instead of fixing something. Luckily Subway is the closest fast food to us, so we go there instead of the others. I am way too tired some days to put energy into fixing good food.
That last comment was mine. I hit the wrong button.
Yeah, I've heard that Costco is THE place for samples - they're building one near me too and everyone is stoked.
I totally relate to Chyayn's comment - Sheely had to wait and wait for fries and Preston was eating them when he was nine months :) Sometimes, a mommy needs to NOT be in charge of the food - I think you're doing great :)
