“Want to go for ice cream?”
The Little Empress enjoying (yet another) summer ice cream cone
If it seems like I have a disproportionate amount of The Little Empress eating ice cream pictures posted on my blog, it is because my usual bribe treat is ice cream. A scoop of ice cream is her treat for having a good week at school, a doctor’s visit that didn’t result in a tantrum or to make an otherwise ordinary summer day into a special one.
Sometimes I worry that I’m spoiling her a bit on ice cream. She’s still a wee thing, barely on the weight charts, so high calorie foods like ice cream get the green light from her doctor. Still, I try to make it only a twice a month treat. But she does love it so. Her eyes light up and she claps happily whenever I mention going for ice cream. After all, what’s better than getting an entire cup of ice cream to yourself when you’re 2?
And honestly, when the local ice cream shop is a mere $1 a scoop, how can I say no? We may not be able to afford much but this is just too good of a treat to pass up.
