The Litabug Phlog

I’m not going to go into lengthy potty-training discussions here, but I’ll mention that we’ve been using tiny jelly beans as a reward for effort. They’re small enough not to get Sam too “sugar-wired” but are tasty enough to be a good motivator.

The other day, though, as Sam started chewing his treat, he suddenly got a painful look in his eyes. His eyes watered, his jaw dropped and he started panting. I was confused until he said “Hot!!” I thought I’d given him cherry. It was cinnamon.
