Stop, Or He'll Pop

After feeding Gavin sweet potatoes (it was either that or peas or green beans)Saturday morning, I decided to have a little conversation with my mother-in-law, G, about feeding Gavin only fruits for dinner. Why my mother-in-law, G, finds it weird that I request that Gavin eat a veggie for dinner is beyond me. Don't you eat veggies for dinner?

I broached the subject Monday night, along with he can eat a whole jar if he wants too. Or a half jar of veggie and half a jar of fruit. Mix in a little cereal to fill him up. That does add up to one whole jar, right? Where the disconnect was in that conversation, I'm not sure, but I do know that I was informed by Tommy this morning that he had one heck of a poo. Come to think of it (Tommy said), he was damn near roly-poly last night when he went to bed. Poor kid. Wanna make a bet that poor child, not knowing his own limits, gobbled down a whole jar and a bowl full of cereal. Wouldn't surprise me. And, on top of that, Tommy's feeding him his bedtime bottle two hours later. I'm surprised he didn't pop.
