Rainbow Sprinkles to the Rescue!

Sometimes as a mother you do what you have to do to get by. Earlier today my 2 year old was screaming hysterically from teething. I retrieved the Children's Tylenol, but for some inexplicable
 reason the lid would not budge. His screams were piercing and my sensory sensitive daughter was at her limit. I panicked, and I am not proud of what I did next. I grabbed the bottle of rainbow sprinkles from the Lazy Susan and gave him a handful. He stopped crying immediately as he enjoyed his colorful, sugar-laden snack. This bought me another few minutes to pry the Tylenol open and prevented a household melt-down.

Was giving him pure sugar a good idea? Probably not, but I'll take a toddler on a sugar rush over a nervous breakdown any day. Maybe after the kiddies go to bed Mommy will have some sprinkles. And by sprinkles...I mean wine.

    The ideal microgame, doodle jump is also gloriously replayable and wildly addicting.
