Thats how we taught all 3 of em to crawl...put a bowl of popcorn JUST outta reach...they learned to crawl that night 
Kid- "daddy, can I have a cookie"
Me- " If I didnt polish em off last night after you went to bed, because daddy can. But I left you plenty of veggies in the fridge."
Ok seriously,...Kiddos know the rules on snacks..they never know when their getting them. I prefer random reinforcement myself. Rarely are they allowed to ask for em. Which seems to work, because rarely do they. And somehow my 4 yr old will ask for seconds at dinner, snub her nose at the ribs, but grab the whole bowl of veggies and polish every last bite off..frequently. Since when do kids prefer veggies over everything else?..this is the one that screamed bloody murder until she was allowed to hold the bowl of popcorn and double fist it through the whole movie as a baby.....
My DS#2 loves veggies...and any other food... DS#1 is totally a meat and potatoes kinda guy... 6'4 190lbs... and all muscle... now my lil one was a tiny lil toothpick last yr... over the summer he bulked up and grew and grew... not sure his exact measurements but he's about past my chin, and like 90lbs i thnk... was blessed w/ their daddy's dna, and my good looks![]()
I don't know why I had a necktie on wearing a leather jacket?!
yeah brad used to do that too...I'll leave the genetic composition talk at the door on this one... LOL! But I get what you're saying!
My kids look like me with their bio-fathers build too! super skinny kids. Remind me to have dom "do the belly thing" for you when we come. He can suck that baby in until you see his spine. super creepy gross, but it's the train wreck situation... don't wanna look... but you just gotta!!
aww that a fine looking family you got there.
Bob I have tried to scan the last 10 pages here but due to my pounding headache I only got part of them so I didn't see if you got your dental issues worked out or not. You may have already tried this so ignore it if so but here the health department has dental work that is done there. They come around and help out folks that don't have insurance. They might be able to help you out. I know they do work that is not just cleanings and x-rays. If they cannot do the work they might be able to point you to someone who would take you. I know we had heck trying to find someone to take my son a few years back when he had no insurance and not a whole lot of $$$ to work with. He was an adult so not on my plan anymore. I swear you would think that dentists are made of gold or something! We finally found someone but it took like 3 days before we could get an appt that was not 4 weeks away!
yeah brad used to do that too...
Did you make everyone watch him do it? lol. I make him show everyone. he's starting to get shy about his body now so he may not, but I think it's the funniest thing. he eats like a cow though, unless his meds make him not hungry, as that happens....
Im just hoping my first born will be the lil miss wufc champ like daddy wants. Shes built to be spider monkey in the octagon, and has daddy's muscles...looking like a star in the making..but I think every daddy says that.
you know I had pneumonia last year - my brother calls to see how I am - heard I was sick. I'm like aww isn't that nice - then he asked who the beneficiary is on my life insurance policy. true - not kidding.
no, dont thnk every dad says that about his lil girl..LMAO
WOW! My brother literally bankrupted me but it was from extreme stupidity not greed or maliciousness. I'm very sorry you have a brother like that. I guess you are a bigger person than I am because I would have disowned him. Or worse.
