Jake and the much missed Ash would tell you that little girls eat lots of good stuffs that they would like as well and are allowed to have.
As for jumping bean discipline, need anything shaken and stirred?
Use her energy for useful stuff if you can, in small five year old sized portions.
My poor niece is in a position now to where it is a question of survival. I’m taking the great-niece, because for now, mom can’t afford day-care, and son has to do 24 hours of community service so he can join the Job Corps with a clean record. He can do it in one week, and that is the week that we are discussing.
I feel so bad for my niece...she has such a big heart. I think The Little Redhead is used to eating what’s there, but I want to make sure she is well fed, at least for as long as I have her. Too bad I didn’t know about this last week, as I could have laid in some supplies commensurate with a five-year old girl.
