I’ve decided to be a parent who feeds their child healthy food, but who will not make a big deal when someone else offers them a treat or something I might not normally feed him.  I don’t feel an occasional treat will undermine his healthy habits, and it’s rewarding and important to be gracious with friends and family, another important life lesson that hopefully Nolan will learn.  So when a friend offered to take a whole group of us out to doughnuts, his treat, Nolan had the chance to have his first doughnut (hole).  He actually only ate half of it and I had a mandarin orange out as well that he munched on.
