"...a little ice cream with your toppings?"

hooray for you! we take the same ‘kid first’ approach with Abbie (6). Sure, there are some hair raising moments you say yes to something and then scramble to make sure it all gets covered! Abbie also has a great attitude toward food…we’ve found that saying yes to the hot chocolate usually means she’ll drink a little, eat the whip cream and give it up on her own. She has a twin and (without diabetes) and we’ve pretty much put them on the same food program with an emphasis on healthy eating, not diabetes.
