So we did the unthinkable today.................
We not only took our family "to eat" lunch at McDonalds but we gave our sweet, pure, almost 9 month old son a french fry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like all of those parents that I had previously judged (not a good practice, I know realise) were staring at us tut-tutting in disgust. It was shameful of us, however, Quinn was staring with those baby pleading eyes that no human being could say no to. So we let one cool down, rubbed as much salt off as we could and let him have it.
Part of us felt we were giving our young children a rite of passage experience into the world of fast food and the other part felt we should eat only fruit and veg. (organic even better) for the next fornight.

I am glad Quinn enjoyed his transition food. I hope no tummy aches followed! To be a perfect parent is impossible. To be a good enough parent who loves and cares for her child is a wonderful and attainable goal! Enjoy!
