We don't but James would love that. He always wants smoothies and milkshakes etc. I'm trying to limit him on sugar. Thankfully his teacher did a little unit on how harmful sugar is for children so he gets it. We do let him have a smoothie or Italian ice once or twice a week. He's very active so I don't think that's too bad. He will choose to go without dessert/soft drink etc. on his own if he thinks he already had too much sugar.
Drinks that's another battle. All that there is here is gallons of iced tea...the kids want that but all I give them is water. Her mom seems to get upset when I tell them nope water. Their cousin that is 15 and a sophomore is probably 50 lbs overweight. We don't want to happen. Granted my kids are way active and he just sits around. And eats and watches tv. The other day my mil picked him from school and pretty much cooked him up salmon with sides as after school snack...I said don't forget we eat at 530 today. She still made him enough for a dinner meal. :sigh:
