He is eating like a mad man

Since I work at Walmart I have gotten into the really bad habit of just buying what I need everyday instead of planning out meals and buying everything all at once. It tends to be less expensive when I buy it all at once than if I buy it every single day and then a bunch of other stuff along with it. I also hate to shop for things after my shift. So today I went grocery shopping. Yes, I actully got a cart and filled it to the brim with food! (actually it was overflowing a little)

I buy my meat in large quantities and then separate it into portions and freeze it. This work really well for us. It also allows us to make more meals out of the food rather than waste half of it. I also have a husband who eats a lot and it surprises me at how fast the food actually disappears. I also decided this time to get some snacks for the kids so that they would not eat just candy all day long.

When I brought the food in and Kayden saw all the good stuff he was in heaven. He had opened the granola bars, the chips, the gold fish, the pudding, the cereal straws anything that looks good he has opened and eaten. I guess if this is what I need to do to get him to eat then I may have to go grocery shopping more often.

I do need to clarify one thing. When Kayden eats chips he actually licks the seasoning off of the chip and then puts the chip back in the bag or in a separate pile.

AHHH, the chips! We have "Tucker" chips at our house, but he has graduated from licking them to actually eating them and swallowing them...he will eat an entire bag of doritos in one day. I guess that is how he gets his calories...

But is he really eating things? Does he chomp like a dinosuar? I hope so! We always said that one day he would eat, so I hope he really is. Even if it is "strong-enough" (stroganof or however you spell it.) Maybe then he will get strong enough........

After looking at the pictues I got an idea. You can just buy some mac and cheese, open the cheese powder and let him at it with a spoon! Better than soggy chips. (A funny thing....the "word verification at the bottom of this starts with "chips. Go figure."
