Do Children Love Ice Cream?
This poster on ice-cream looks so tempting that I could not resist the temptation and took a photo of it:)
Then,
I thought children would love ice cream.
I crave for ice cream when I was young. Well, simply because my mom barred me from eating for fear that I might have prolonged cough.
So, I thought children could not resist ice cream. Till my children prove me wrong.
Well, at least, Brendan and Darren don’t fancy ice cream.
Strangely, they do not have the ice cream craving like their parents do.
Just imagine, I even bought an ice cream maker at home, wanting to share home-made ice cream with my loved ones.
But then…..
Yummy yummy… in a hot weathered country like Singapore, who could resist that freezing ice cream?
And some even go for ice cream buffet.
[Imagine having endless rounds of assorted ice creams as a main meal. Eating to your heart's content...]
Once in a while, when Brendan and Darren are offered ice cream, they will try but tend to complain of the COLD.
Instead, they prefer the whipped cream, toppings, waffles or fruits that accompany the ice cream.
Or they will go for the melted version of the ice cream i.e. the liquid form that remains *haha*.
So, at least, we spot a similarity in the brothers *smile*.
Frankly, I am happy that they are also able to hold their control over unhealthy snacks and candies by eating minimally of these although Darren will still pester me once in a while:)
So, what about you? Do your children love ice cream? Do you crave for ice cream when you were young?
I thot all kids love ice-cream too. But my boy din like it when he was younger. Same like ur boys, complained too cold. LOL But now he’s learnt to love ice-cream. :)
As for me, I don’t rmbr how it was when I was small but I love ice-cream now. Esp on a vy hot day. Ahhhhh…
Good that they do not like.. cough will not come visit them as often as those who like ice cream! :)
Hi Slavemom,
Maybe my boys will start liking ice-cream as they grow older..Then, my ice cream maker will come in handy finally:)
Hi Claire,
Cough still frequents Darren even when he does not eat ice cream. So I was thinking, it doesn’t matter even if he eats abit. There was even a period when I took ice cream for supper everyday and oh I love it even when it is blended as milk shake:)
My younger one do not like ice-cream or chocolate. However, now he slowly accepted a certain kind of ice-cream with rainbow colors. For other kinds, he is still rejecting. Anyway, for these habits, I do not intend to change as it does no benefits to him.
My son eats them and enjoy them once in a while, but he doesn’t like to eat all that much. Just a popsicle and he’s satisfied. He doesn’t even go for ice cream when we got eat at buffetts.
Children will naturally love anything sweet I guess. My toddler had ice cream for the first time at 23 months and she loved it. I don’t dare give her ice cream again for a while. I don’t want her to be craving for sweets all the time.
Hi Michael,
Your kid must be attracted to colours:) We can allow our kids to cnack once in a while but not excessively.
Hi Lina,
Ice cream at buffet? Haha…it is a must have for hubby and I even if we are very full. But we have special taste buds for ice cream and does not eat much except for certain brands.
Hi jellybelly,
Strangely…as soon as my boys saw this post, they started asking to share the ice cream that we took while vacationing. I didn’t know that mommy has so much influence on them with a post. However, I must also stress that I do not support my kids eating too much ice cream or other things sweet but not to the extent of abstaining. Everything, eaten in moderation, is fine.
