A Bottomless Pit

Folks, I think there is a serious problem with my son. I'm quite certain there is some sort of hole in his stomach or intestines or something because he seriously never stops eating. I'm going to have to take out a part-time job just to keep him full. Seriously. For breakfast yesterday he ate a whole egg, an entire banana, a serving of oatmeal, and 4oz(ish) of yogurt. And he still wanted more. I know, I know, there are worse problems we could have, but still. My 30-year old sister doesn't even eat that much--at any meal!

The upside to feeding a human garbage disposal is that he will eat pretty much everything. So for lunch and dinner Darrell and I just chop up whatever we are having and give it to him (usually with an extra side of vegetables because let's be honest, Darrell and I probably don't eat enough of those ourselves. And he's inevitably still hungry anyway). The only thing we have consistently found that he doesn't like is BBQ sauce. He will spit out any bite of a pulled pork sandwich that gets near his mouth--but he eats pork fine prepared other ways. Weird kid. And hungry kid. ALWAYS hungry. 

Maybe it's not too late for me to get a garden in at our new house? And maybe raise some chickens? And I don't know, buy a cow or something? Eesh. We always knew our budget would change with having kids, but we didn't expect this much of an increase this soon. But at least he's healthy, right?
