I’m going to blame a growth spurt on this unquenchable appetite. It has to be right? Right?
That’s impressive. Really impressive.
Good Grief! I’m stuffed just reading it all. How do you keep up?
PS: Love the names Search and Destroy – also my pick for the band name proposed earlier.
My eldest ate so much when she was a toddler that I took her to the doctor. I remember the consultation well:
The Doctor assured me that many toddlers have healthy appetites and asked me to tell her what she ate every day. I had not even got to telling him about lunch when he went a little pale.
He dewormed her – no change. Tested her for various things including diabetes – all negative. He kept looking at her tiny frame and saying:
“Are you sure she eats all of that?”
My parents were in town this weekend. They just stared in awe at how much the boys were putting away. “How does he do that?!”
My kind of peeps!

Ok, I cannot translate the previous comment. My thoughts – “Feed me, feed me, Seymour” – Tricia’s “Little Shop” experience in 9th grade is re-visiting.
They WILL grow up to be BIG and STRONG! My little cutie pies.
