We will be shopping at Sams the rest of our lives...
I feel like I am constantly getting up to fix more food for someone!
"More Please" is by far their best English phrase right now...
Although it may sound like I am complaining, I'm definitely not. I've always wanted a large family, and meal time has always been one of the moments that I've dreamed of with that large family. Lots of food being passed around, laughter, and stories being shared.
It's a beautiful thing.
I'm so glad that Silas and Blake can eat as much as they want. I hope they are learning that the food will not run out, and there will always be food for the next meal. I hope that by letting them self regulate they will learn healthy eating habits in the years to come.

If you need a Sam's Buddy let me know I would love to go! Talk to you soon!
I remember those days! With my two boys, it took 6-8 months, but eventually they started eating normal(ish) portions and waiting between mealtimes. Early on, I commandeered a kitchen drawer and stocked it with crackers, raisins, and nuts and told them they could go there ad get food whenever, without asking. It really saved me a bunch of time around snack preparation and it gave them the "keys to the kingdom", so to speak. They had control of their little stash, you know? Of course, mine haven't hit puberty yet, so I guess I will need to brace for another wave of locust-like consumption.
Your family looks like a lot of fun!
