PSA: Chocolate two hours before bedtime is not a good idea

Brought to you by the mom who's listening to her caffeined-up toddler scream in his room right now, two hours after we put him to bed. Good times, good times.

Re: PSA: Chocolate two hours before bedtime is not a good idea

  • Haha, I know!  I always think, oh "just a bite of my chocolate chip pancakes before his nap won't hurt" or "it's just one glass of OJ, how can it keep her up?" WRONG.  Every.  Single. Time.  Wrong.

    Ugh, sorry about the screaming!

  • LOL!! oh well, live and learn! :)
  • DD is pretty "lively" to begin with, but give her chocolate and it's like she's on speed. She had a piece of birthday cake with chocolate frosting after dinner just one time ever--we learned our lesson. I feel your pain!

  • Speaking of chocolate, how is Mr Franky Fresh?

    I love the sig pic! I need another one of his cute little face. You can save a balls shot for later...

    Thank the sweet baby Jesus, he's finally asleep. But, yeah, it was like he was on speed. DH and I spent 1.5 hours in there between the two of us, but it didn't help because he couldn't keep still. And when we would leave he'd scream because he's so tired but he couldn't fall asleep.

    Lesson learned for SURE.

    Frankie's doing really well! He's healthy, happy, and playing like a madman every moment he's not sleeping. :) I'll post some pics in a second.

  • Tell me about it. Sugar in general is not good ... I let A have an ice cream sandwich and some juice I refer to as her liquid crack. Omg. GL!
