Mommy Juice

I have tried hard to limit sugar for Kelly for as long as possible. And I think I’ve done pretty well considering its EVERYWHERE you turn! Instead of juice, I have always given her very diluted crystal light. But I knew it was only a matter a time before she would get a taste of the real stuff, love it and want it. After all, she is my kid!

She had a Capri sun not long ago, and from then on only wanted her, “juice bag” instead of the sippy with watered down crystal light (gee, go figure!). Then I discovered a wonderful little product, also made by Capri Sun, called “Roarin’ Waters” which is basically flavored water with no sugar (thank you Kathy!), so I’ve been getting those and she loves them.

So, one day she says to me, “I want a mommy juice”
Well, this caught me a bit off guard as I had no idea what she was talking about at first, and my brain sort of went in some weird directions with that...
Me: “a WHAT??”
Kelly: “a MOMMY juice”, and points to the refrigerator.

I slowly figure that she must be talking about a "juice bag", so I fetch one, bring it back to her, and she says, “Noooo mommy. This is a DADDY juice!! I want a MOMMY juice.”

It took me another minute to figure out what the heck she meant… then I looked at the packaging…


Wow, do we really look like that! HA-HA! And since daddy still also buys the regular Capri Suns (much to mom's dismay), she gets her hands on those as well sometimes and now calls those "James juice" and "Willie Juice"...
