I Blame You - Uncle Jared

The story goes that when Jared didn't like something as a small child, he would pretend to get sick and throw up. BUT was always better for dessert which he got. That doesn't happen at my house - you eat your food for dessert.

Drew loves to have little bites. I don't understand it. It already takes 2 hours (not really it only feels that way) to eat. He messes around, talks too much, drops his spoon, etc. If the bite is too big that you give him in his mind, he chokes. What logical mom (or dad) wants to clean up throw-up at the supper table? We quickly give him a drink. Usually we can cut the piece into micro-pieces and continue, but not today.

He eats Honeycombs several times a week and sometimes requests more. If I help he will eat 3 pieces at a time. Today he was preoccupied with Ally playing and decided that he didn't like it and was full - 2 bites doesn't constitute full. Everytime I spooned a bite in with only 1 piece, he would gag and I gave him a drink. This happened three times and he won - get down and play. I won't clean up throw-up BUT no snacks before lunch!

funny....Jared may claim that he cannot remember choking on food as a kid. but ask him about the VERY small sip of wine he had on our honeymoon.
