It is a truly insane thing to experience and watch, a child growing literally sometimes overnight, be it a shoe-size or other clothes, while eating huge quantities of food, three donuts, five pancakes, ice cream, pasta, bottles of milk, lemonade, gatorade, cookies, candy, macaroni and cheese, fruit, and who knows what else. A child who can literally eat you out of house and home. I see the future and it will include a food bill escalating by about $50 per week this school year.
I remember when he was little, maybe two or three years old, and one evening he wanted Cheerios and milk for dinner. He proceeded to eat three big bowls of Cheerios. So I asked him that all important question, where did it all go? How could it be in his small belly? He responded "well, mommy" (as if I was stupid), "it is in my arms and legs and fingers and toes". If only.
