Other snack replacements O'Brien recommends include real chocolate chips instead of M&M s, pretzels
rather than chips or colored
goldfish crackers, and plain yogurt with fruit or sprinkles instead of artificially colored yogurts.
If the boys fought me to go down for a nap and fell asleep in my bed
rather than their cribs, I'd vent my frustrations over feeling trapped in the room with them by running downstairs and grabbing whatever we had in the cabinets — bags of
Goldfish crackers, boxes of baby biscuits — gobbling all the candy and then telling my partner we must have left the bag at the store
rather than confess that I'd eating it all.
