So I'm trying hard not to make food a reward with my little one, impart moderation, but kind of not make it a big deal either way.Tiffany from HOLIDAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785950236551788694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-35982298560711837782010-10-26T23:38:38.625-04:002010-10-26T23:38:38.625-04:00That is such a darling story and illustration.

One - to -one time with a parent is highly prized in our family!<br /><br />VictoriaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572400688345132982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-2252168393387520242010-10-26T12:32:36.058-04:002010-10-26T12:32:36.058-04:00I love this story and your mom is a very smart la...I love this story and your mom is a very smart lady and it shows on her talented daughter.

They had penny candy, so a quarter went a long way. We stood there for ages, agonizing over what to choose. (I don't know how that shop keeper had the patience to wait for us to decide.) Then walking home, eating our candy on a hot summer afternoon - what bliss!<br /><br />Love your drawing, Patricia!Leslie Fehlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331638868684201701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-31208849646550400462010-10-26T09:33:07.958-04:002010-10-26T09:33:07.958-04:00I'm crazy for this drawing.
