Balancing sugar intake
I HOPE you’ve all had an
awesome Easter break and
ate more chocolate than I
did.
Not that I didn’t have
heaps, I’m just generous
with my hopes.
Maybe it’s because she’s
our first child but Laura
and I are pretty strict on
how much sugar we let
Vittoria have. If we’re
having something sweet to
eat in front of her, she’ll get
a wee bit to taste, but we

Long story short, Vittoria
did not get an Easter egg.
However, she did eat

multiple family meals and
even scoffed a few pieces
of Laura’s mum’s famous
italian prune cake (once
erroneously translated

Her other little Easter
treat was getting to take

she eventually just got over
it and dropped the lead.
Recently, we’ve begun
noticing a new behaviour
in Vittoria; jealousy –
especially of Laura.
If I’m holding Vittoria
and Laura comes up for a
hug too, Vittoria pushes her
hand into her face to shove
her away.
Last week, Laura and I
were sitting and chatting,
Laura leaning into me. All
of a sudden, Vittoria gets
all whingy, runs over,
jumps onto me and starts

shoving Laura away all over
again.
It’s pretty cute and funny
for me, but I can only
imagine that it must hurt
Laura a little.
Hopefully, Vittoria start
realising that her mum isn’t
stealing her daddy away
from her. Or at least stop
shoving her in the face.
