Sugar High

Yesterday, Aiden had a bit of Italian Creme Cake for desert around 6:30 PM.   “A bit” is being a bit conservative–he ate quite a lot, and had icing too.  Probably not the best idea an hour or so before sleepy time.

He was literally bouncing off the walls.  He would run around, run into the walls, bounce off, and run around in a different direction.  He spun around, played with his magnet-letters on the fridge, and once he got bored with those he started throwing them around.  It was pretty wild. 

In the middle of it, he clearly wanted more sugar.  He grabbed the box of teddy-grahams, and when we refused and tried to give him wheat thins, he tried to get into the candy cabinet.  He grabbed the hershey kisses and wanted us to unwrap them.  What a monster.

Luckily, we seem to have timed it pretty well.  His sugar crash coincided with his sleepy time, around 8:00 PM.  He was a bit excited when we first got to his bedroom, but he quickly calmed down, and didn’t even cry when we left him.  He slept through the night, until about 7:30 AM.
