Today is my little girls birthday -- she is 4 years old today. I feel like I do now at every birthday--bittersweet. I feel like we as a family can't enjoy things like birthday cake. All birthday cake and sweets do is make Ben "jones" like a drug addict. He gets happy, chatters, and talks your ear off. This behavior only comes out when there is food or the prospect of food, or when he has stolen food Then if he does get some, soon as it is gone he is mad, sullen and sulking for more. When he doesn't get any and he know there is some (like birthday cake) he gets upset. So I don't know what to do! We have pretty much just stopped buying birthday cake because that is the worst of all his triggers -- why that? I don't know....
Update: So we can raisen bran carrot muffins for Kate's birthday. As per usually Ben's face was a total food fest. Jonesing on everyones muffins including his own. At one point he even leaned over and said "Happy Birthday Kate, let me give you a hug" The entire time his eyes didnt even look at her, he was looking at her muffin. Makes me so sad.
