Tonight I smiled

I went grocery shopping today. It wasn't long before I started feeling down. Everywhere I look are foods that aren't good choices for Little Boy. I can give him whatever food we want, as long as we cover it with insulin. But when I can give him a cup of pasta or a cookie, I have to make the wise choice. So, I get sad. It isn't fair - I should be able to give my son a cookie when I want.

So I bought packaged rice krispy treats, and that's what my kids had for dessert tonight. And I watched Little Boy's face. He opened it and got excited. "I haven't had one of these for a long time."

He took his first bite, with his eyes closed, and said, "Ummmmm. This is so good Mommy."

And I smiled.
