Growing Up Me

I know every mom wants their kids to eat healthy.  Today I seriously wonder if I have went too far with the healthy food kick.  I was sneaking myself a Twinkie even though I am on a diet.  Hey, I have lost thirty pounds and am now back in a healthy weight range for me. I deserved that Twinkie! Someone would have had to kill me to pry it from my hands.  Well, my two year old has not felt well today with a little tummy upset.  She had not eaten much and I had been trying to tempt her with some of her favorite foods.  She rounded the corner into our kitchen and caught me red handed.  Of course, she had to have it. Not wanting it to be the only thing she ate, I gave her half of it.  My mother-in-law is looking at me like she could flay me for giving it to her as she mentioned Augusta needed to eat better.  She pulled a tomato out of the fridge and started to slice it when Augusta threw down the Twinkie and went for the tomato.  She ate the entire thing! Now, I know I have done something right by this experience but it really freaked me out.  My other girls will only eat tomatoes in the form of pizza or spaghetti sauce and ketchup! I want them to eat right but everyone deserves a twinkie now and then.
