Maybe Too Normal

So, this weekend I thought I would make Piper feel like any other kid.  So silly since she doesn't know any different...but I want to see her normal.  So we take a trip to Texas Roadhouse...eating peanuts, having a good time while we wait for a table.  She then, eats about an hour and a half past her usual 5:00 dinner time.  Then, she gets to eat 1 1/2 rolls!  Carb-o-licious!  Heck...I can down a whole basket and then some.  It's crazy how we take it for granted...silly things like Texas Roadhouse rolls.  Obviously, Piper is not limited to what she can eat but certain things can make her sky-rocket...as we saw with her numbers afterwards.  She was 400+ at bedtime and at 2:30 when she woke up crying.  I was able to get her to drink some water sippy.  Sweet girl (and Momma) both slept in till 9:40!!!  Numbers went down a little bit and fortunately there were never any ketones.
Then, this morning...two words: Krispy Kreme!!!  Piper had a chocolate iced donut with sprinkles (41g of carbs).  She ran a little high all day...but not as crazy as the rolls.  But seriously, how many times do our kids have donuts for breakfast?!
So, I got a little crazy this weekend and gave her all sorts of foods that trigger the highs.  But she's a sweetheart and never seems to mind what her crazy Momma does to her.  True, she's not really able to tell me when she feels bad like she's high or low, but she always caries on with her happy, sweet self.
Well, there you have it...Piper can eat whatever she wants (well, except poison...or cookies...made with poison), we just have to be careful and learn what those trigger foods are and treat accordingly.
Enjoy pics of my chocolate faced cutie!
***UPDATE***
Yeah after a weekend of highs, pretty sure I just checked Piper at 10:30 and she had a bedtime low of 101...needs to be at least 120.  I had to feed her an applesauce pouch as she was half awake.  I loathe diabetes!
