So this blogging is a funny thing...I'm compelled to publish parenting mishaps. In what other forum to you display your downfalls? When I named it 'Another day, another laugh', I guess I was setting the tone for that however. Once again this morning (at 6:45am), I turned my head for 2 minutes (meaning I was helping Tanner in the bathroom) and a hungry Alex helped himself to our fridge - this time to raw corn on the cob!
Let's set the record straight - I feed my kids. They should not act as insanely hungry as they do - and those of you reading this that are local can attest to their constant want of food. They get 3 meals each day, and countless snacks. They are bottomless pits - and it's not just for sweets. I knew this of teenage boys -- but 2, 3 and 4 year old boys? It's somewhat ironic, because we had to tube feed and then force feed them through their first few months of life. My how the tables have turned!

I like corn, too. Although my stomach would never have agreed to eating raw corn on the cob before 7 in the morning. It looks like Alex is taking initiative. He fixed his own breakfast so that you didn't have to, right? Such a sweet boy.
What an adorable picture!
Those boys keep you and Jim busy, don't they.
And BTW, forget about having total control over little boys. Even kids that don't face Alex's & Tanner's challenges can be a handful, (See Jimmy)and only a fool would think otherwise.
I've known fools who have tried to enforce absolute discipline, and their kids are now in and out of prison. Well . . . in more than out, actually, and one of them is still in the closet.
What an adorable picture! Alex and I clearly have different tastes when it comes to food, though. Corn = gross.
Are you sure those two don't have any Italian blood in them??? Sure sounds like my family's eating habits, even as adults!
Be very gratful that they like to eat so many different kinds of food. Our family is known for picky eaters. I'm with Heather Alex gave you a break and fixed his own breakfast. I'm with him I prefer my vegs raw. I did notice an increase in appitete that preceeded a growth spurt with my stepson.
mmmm, raw corn (yuck!)
ok so I definitely thought they had the right idea with the ice cream. I would have been right there with them on that one but raw corn..leave it to little boys!
