Cupcakes on parade

There are three and a half more days of school, and today we sent Mik off with cold Paleo pancakes (success!), strawberries, grapes, baby carrots, cheese, and juice in his lunchbox. Getting through the school day on Paleo could be a challenge, because they have some sort of party or field day planned pretty much every day this week, and sugar is always a part of that. (Have you ever thought about how messed up that is? They drill the anti-drug and anti-smoking messages into their heads from kindergarten, all the while serving an endless parade of cupcakes.) In fact, the night when he had his worst episode of stomach pains, he'd had three treats that day at school. Sheesh.

But he told me (quite proudly) last night that he had not cheated once since he started this. And this morning, he told me that if he stayed on this diet longer than the planned two weeks, he was sure to make state in swimming this summer.

Oooh, I have high hopes for that boy.
