A Sweet Treat for a Sweet Kid

On Sunday, February 10, I took Joshua out to "Sweet Frog" (a new frozen yogurt place in Lancaster) to celebrate his amazing report card. He got an "A" for advanced in almost every area or a "P" for "Performs consistently" if an "A" wasn't an option. In no areas did he "N" for "Need Improvement." Typically, I don't want rewards being food, BUT I had wanted to try the new Sweet Frog since they gave a generous donation to our neighbors who lost their son. I thought it was a good way to give them business, to check it out, and to have a one-on-one date with my oldest son.

Shawn said taking Joshua by himself was a great idea. We need to do more one-on-one time with the kids. So, rather than this really being a "reward" (we want them to want to do well in school), this was more of a celebration. He picked cookies 'n cream and strawberry to try, and he got iced animal crackers as his topping. I told him he could have anything - multiple types of ice cream and whatever toppings he wanted, and this was what he picked. :) He did chuckle that they make peanut butter frozen yogurt!

I tried the cake batter (YUM!) and a little strawberry, and I topped mine with fresh strawberries and a little scoop of crushed up Snickers. It was simply ah-maz-ing! Delicious doesn't even begin to describe how good it was. And I didn't think it was all that expensive for what we got. We found a table to sit and talk just the two of us. And, of course, I had to snap a quick photo. After our date, he came along to Giant with me to grab a couple things we needed, including a pizza we made for dinner that evening. He was excited to drive the car cart all by himself. We had a fun time! :)
