We have been having some issues with Lucas's sleep lately. He has started to give up his afternoon naps and then was fighting his sleep at night. One of the things we started to pay more attention to is how much sugar is in "stuff" so we were more careful with what we gave him in the evenings. Most cereal kids would enjoy has a lot of sugar in it. Except cheerios. Juice has lots in it, so I'm sure to water it down if I give him any. Although now milk is our drink of choice in the evenings. Comparatively cookies have less sugar in them then cereal. Especially if they are animal crackers or some kind of cookie that is not all chocolate. Granola bars really vary, so if you are concerned about sugar, check the labels. Anyway it's interesting to look at how much sugar is in things.
Is there anything any of you eat that is low on sugar that you want to let me in on I'd love to know??? Or any good bed time snacks that protein in them?

I'm a huge fan of melba toast with sliced cheddar cheese and any of my favourite low fat deli meats (black forest ham, smoked turkey breast, etc).
The great thing about cheese and deli meat is that if he's at all picky about it, you can cut it into virtually any kid-friendly shape to spark his interest. I tend to choose melba toast over crackers because it's crunchier, has less salt and you can eat the whole wheat or multigrain kinds without even realizing that you're eating healthy.
Good luck!
