Oh the dilemmas.
Side note: am I the only person that has always thought you spelled dilemma with a silent “n”? I mean, I do fancy myself quite the word enthusiast and all these years, I thought it was dilemNa. Damnit!? Wait, is that dammit too??
Anywho.
My newest dilemma. Daycare. Fruit = canned = filled with sugary syrup.

I am NOT cool with this.
Emmie’s totally into real live, fresh fruit at home and I am into NOT giving her sugary so called fruit. Or any sugar for that matter. (But I've also been known to lick the salt off of the totally expensive organic crackers I give her...note to self, unsalted next time.)
So I asked about fruit at daycare. It’s in a can. Ugh. Seriously.
Sooo now, am I going to be that mom that cuts up fresh fruit and packs her 9 month old's lunch box everyday? Or do I quit my job so I can stay at home and feed her fresh organic foods all the live long day? Ok, so I know the last one isn’t happening but I just don’t think I can let her eat canned sugary fruits this early in life.
I know I'm a little nuts and I know I will succumb to the sugars at some time, but I'm just hoping to hold off as long as I can.
What’s a me to do??

I am TOTALLY against sugar, and make sure it isn't hidden in anything that is supposed to be non-sugary (though let's face it, eventually you do have to let your kid have a cupcake). If she likes real fruit, you don't want her even TASTING the sugar laden stuff. Cut it up, send your 9 month old to daycare with a lunch box, PBK makes super cute ones you can personalize. Buying something and feeding your kid right? Win-win!
