The bottomless pit!
I was just having an e-mail discussion with my Mom which reminded me of a post I wanted to make. Why did no one mention that 19 month olds can eat more then everyone else in the house combined? Seriously the boy is packing away the food, I am really hoping it is a growth spurt because he is eating a ton.
For instance this morning till he took his nap at 11am he had:
2 bowls of pasta with cheese
a small red wax cheese
a bowl of blueberries
a bowl of pineapple
a granola bar
a bowl of raspberries
a tortilla shell
milk
2 small pieces of peppermint bark
a scoop of peppermint ice cream
Now the dog gets some of this, but not as much as one would expect and that is just this morning, the past two mornings he’s eaten more then this list. My mornings consist of him taking me to the fridge every 20 minutes or so to get him something else to eat. To be fair he does slow down some in the afternoon, but he still eats a fair amount then as well.
I am really hoping for another growth spurt even though he just had one a month ago or so, because he is raising our grocery bills all by himself.

I wish Bella ate half of this! Does Desmond slow down at night or does he eat like this all day long? I’m hoping Bella eats a lot at daycare and that’s why she picks at her plate at home.

He slows down some in the afternoon/evening, but he is still eating, since he’s woken up from his nap he’s had a bowl of pasta with cheese, a bowl of mixed veggies, a bowl of blueberries, some milk and he’s eating a peanut butter granola bar now. And he’s leading me to the kitchen to get him more food.

WOW, that’s a lot of food. He’s a growing boy.
