This year, JR and I decided to give up sodas. I know, I know---CRAZY! We decided that we could still drink coke at a restaurant or at a friends house, but we would no longer be buying soda's for our house. Basically, we realized how much money we were spending, how much we were consuming, and WORSE, how much Logan was consuming. JR and I were going through a 2 liter per day, or a 12 pack in less than 2 days. It wasn't good....and while we tried to give Logan more water, juice, or milk, the fact that the Dr.Pepper was in the house, he always wanted some. Anyway, so we made the decision - no more sodas in the house. I thought it would be much harder than it has been, but luckily I get my caffiene from my morning coffee - and then I drink like the kids...1/2 water, 1/2 juice. I dont know if any of you are big juice drinkers, but some of these juices are so sweet, you just have to dilute them! Juice is just so scary for me though because of all the sugar...but I am going to leave here and do a little research on the best juice brands!!!
Have a good day everyone!

Same thing happened to us, only with JUICE! Blair is not allowed soda, nor has he even tried it. But, we gave him lots of juice for a while due to needing the juice. Then, he seemed hooked on it! We always bought Motts for Tots (which is like half the sugar) and diluted it. But now we have cut down to MAYBE an 1/8th of the cup being the Motts and the rest water. Thank goodness we have all but weened him from the JUICE! Lol...
