Eating With Brenden

My guys both really enjoy eating. They especially like Pb&J's, goldfish crackers and fruit. What I have yet to understand is why they feel the need to shove in as much of whatever it is they are eating. They will do this with anything! Today I was feeding them apples I had purposely sliced extra thin. I would give them a piece and watch to make sure they were alright. Then I started wondering how is it possible for them to eat these so quickly?? It was because they put as many in their mouths as possible before I notice, and I unknowingly give them another. Then, sure enough, they choke due to the fact that they are trying to take bites big enough for a rhino! I can tell them about self control, but that basically falls on deaf ears seeing as how they are only 18 months old. One would think that my boys have not been fed in weeks with the way they shovel the food in. If this is a sign of things to come, I think Matt may need to take on a second job just to keep up with our food bill! As it is now, we are already looking into the city ordinances about housing farm animals in the backyard! That way we wouldn't be running to the grocery store every other day to buy milk!
