Frogs, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails: My Interesting Little Eater

So my children are big eaters as everyone knows. When I say big eaters, I mean BIG eaters. They already eat as much as adults. They are not fat kids, they just have extremely high metabolism (thank Daddy for that!). Anyway, Ben is learning how to use a spoon at school. What I mean by learning how to use a spoon is that he holds the spoon in his right hand and bangs the table, while picking up and eating (throwing) food with his left hand. Watching Ben eat is always a very entertaining experience.

One day, we had take out (not uncommon) and they got chocolate chip cookies with their meals. We were sitting at the table, eating and all of a sudden we looked over at Ben and he had a chocolate chip sitting on his head. The really funny part was that it stayed there for the rest of his meal. Funny, funny. Gigi was here and REALLY thought it was funny.

One weekend I actually had some time, so I made a pot of spaghetti for us to have for the week. I gave Ben a plat of spaghetti (against better judgment) because I figured if he ate spaghetti at school, surely he could do it at home without making too much of a mess. Yes, I was wrong. The kid ended up with spaghetti everywhere! He at his entire plate though!
