Easter eggs - how many and what are you doing with them?

chysantheMUM · Apr 9th, 2012, 15:03 PM

I knew someone would buy her an egg but wasn't expecting 4 of them

Anyway me and OH have discussed it and decided that we are not going to give her any of them. We don't see the point in introducing her to chocolate when she really doesn't need it. It feels mean and ungrateful, especially as it means me and daddy will have to eat it instead

but I've decided its more about doing what I feel is right for LO not worrying about the feelings of others. So how many eggs did your LO get and what are you planning on doing with them?

My LO got two, me and DH are eating them both!

She's only 6 months old and has just started weaning, we're not giving her chocolate when she's so young.

George and Abigail got four each! Abigail will eat hers slowly over several weeks, a bit here and there, and I think I will be forced to eat George's! He had a little bite of chocolate on Easter day but we won't be giving him any more. We will probably use Abigail's as treats for potty training.

We bought LO a small egg, she had a small piece yesterday and we took some 'first Easter egg' photos. I might give her a tiny bit more but I'll probably eat the rest. My Mum bought her the same egg so I'll probably be forced to eat that too

I took LO into work last week and someone gave me a creme egg for her, I wouldn't want to deal with the mess from that never mind the sugar rush so that was swiftly re-gifted to my Dad

None, I made it clear that he's not having chocolate. Dh and I had 3 between us and have 1 left.

Dillan got 7! He is 13 months, so we decided he could have a small piece here and there. So far he has had about a quater of a small egg, and by had I mean he has eaten abit of it and smeared the rest into our clothes, his face, hair, carpet and the poor dog. He has been eating that quater for a few days now though. We will probably let him finish the one he has opened and help him out with the rest.

One!! I let her lick a chocolate button yesterday and took photos but I am very much enjoying the egg (it was quite big)! My mum wants me to give LO the rest of the chocolate buttons but I'll be lying to her (saying I've already given LO one today but eating them myself really) as LO is way too young for chocolate.

Just the one. But LO isn't even 4 months old yet so I'll be eating it. My mum bought him it, but she was well aware he wouldn't be the one eating it.

Boo got one and she got a little sook of the chocolate, but daddy ate the rest (mummy is on a STRICT diet

)
