Feeding a Growing Family

So, in just today, we have consumed 7 eggs and counting.  Venice has eaten 3 all by herself.  She is asking for another one right now and I'm encouraging her to eat something else... am I crazy? What will it cost to feed this family in the next year or so?

Teiya and Xander and Food

We were in the car going to McDonald's, when she started talking about water on her tongue and that it was wet. She was eating her pretzel. So I said do you know the name of what causes the tongue to be wet. She said very quickly tongue water. I thot that was so great....I told her that other people called it saliva....but her naming was so clear. Also when we passed Wendy's...she said, "there is the potato place!" And right after that was Ye Olde Pancakes, which Xander recognized and then ensued a conversation of various meals that they have had. Teiya said, "Remember Xander, we went to the Potato place and Mama, Auntie Diana, and me had a potato...but you didn't what did you eat?"....then she remembered and said..."hamburger." Xander chuckled and said joyfully, "yeah, a hamburger." He then continued with a discussion of the pancakes at the Pancake place.....and how many he could eat.

How proud are we that they have such detailed information and memories about the crappiest food places in Eugene! ;)

Xander Likes My Cooking

We were eating dinner at the table and I looked over to Xander and saw him eating quietly with his eyes closed. As he finished chewing, he opened his eyes and said in a whisper to himself, "Mmmm, that was good."

Xander spits it out

I came into the kitchen the other day and found Xander on a chair at the counter near the candy bowl. There was some 'rejected' food on the counter. I looked at him and at the food. He looked at me and proudly proclaimed, "I spit it out, Mommy!" I asked him what it was. He didn't answer. I asked him, "Where did you get the food?" I was expecting him to point to the candy bowl. Instead, he pointed to the kitty treat jar. No wonder he spit it out. Yucko!
