Got Chocolate Milk?

Allie has been flat our refusing to drink milk. Enter in my constant state of worry when she is not drinking the 16 oz a day recommended by the AAP. I thought it was just a phase. She would refuse to drink milk, and ask for jee (juice.) But it has been going on for weeks now and I don't want my child's brain to stop growing and her eyes to stop developing!!!! So, I added a little Ovultine and waa laa. The child is like her mother, she LOVES chocolate. Who cares if she is probably getting way too much sugar and possibly caffeine, she is drinking milk right? Now she asks for dodo (chocolate) instead of juice. Now I have to worry about her going over the 32 oz recommended by the AAP. Geez louise, I can't win for losing! Anywho, we are doing great and so far are just having a lazy day. I love those kinds of days. We watch way too much PBS and Elmo and Winnie the Pooh, but we need that every once in a while right? Anywho, I will leave you with pictures of Alliebug. If you look really close at the second picture, you will see a chocolate milk ring around the bottom of her mouth.

She and Emma are just alike. Emma will NOT drink regular milk anymore...it has to be "chochy!" I have been buying the reduced sugar chocolate syrup for my own peace of mind. :)
