So today I get a phone call from my daughter:

"Dad! I can't believe you let Will do that. He's not spending the night with you anytime soon!"

"Hey, his sippy cup had iced tea in it. There was no beer involved on his part!"

We were baby sitting...Will (16 months) had eaten his dinner and was playing when the pizza guy arrived - double pepporoni, thin crust.

Next thing I knew, Will had pulled a chair out from the dining room table, climbed up on the chair, then climbed up on the table (with his sippy cup in hand) & grabbed himself a piece of pizza....what can a grandfather do? A man's gotta have his pizza!

In the background of the phone call, I heard my son-in-law yelling, "Will's the man!

What I want to know, Tony, what's in <u>your</u> sippy cup? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thirsty.gif
 
There's cheese there.....that's dairy. And between the bread and the pepperoni, I'd say that you have all the food groups covered in there, Tony. Dunno what she's complaining about!

In the words of the great Bill Cosby, "That's nutritious!"
 
He could have gone for that delicious looking chocolate cake sitting there. If he's not going to have a piece, can I? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
 
Pizza is the perfect 4 food groups food.

Bread - Dough
Vegetables - Tomato sauce (or a friut)
Dairy - Cheese
Meat - Pepperoni.

Let the man eat!
 
What was she looking for, yogart and some tofu.... he is a boy... he needs pizza
 
Just getting him started early for what will be the staple of his diet from ages 16-22!
 
I too dunno what she's complaining about! Yep he will get his mom straightened out before too long.

Just wait till he wants his MG to run.
 
tony, cheeesh, didnt your daughter get the "feeding instructions for a boy" when she got him?, 1.yard dirt or a small gravel may be substituted, 2. small bugs, crawling type i.e. ants, small spiders, may substitute flies, flyable or dried, 3. small metal objects i.e. two 3/16" washers or one 1/4" nut, small pocket change i.e. pennys, dimes, nickles. 4. liquids - juices, water, milk, or anything remaining in a high ball glass or aluminum can, 5.most importantly! PIZZA, oh ya lots ah PIZZA!!!!!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

For both of my boys it was coffee...from the time they could crawl, if you left a cup sitting on a table, they would steal it when you weren't looking. I even caught their Papaw sneaking it into their bottles and sippy cups /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thirsty.gif.
 
I've always said that the 3 main food groups for men are:

Salt and Grease, with Tomatoes in any form.

All my favorite dishes contain various ratios of those three.

Of course, they have to be washed down with your favorite booze.
 
I've always had the bachelor food groups pegged as salt, grease, sugar, alcohol and caffine!

It sounds like he's well on his way!

I find in cooking for three "men" as long as it has cheese on it or in it, they love it! (preferably American, but they'll tolerate cheddar in a pinch!)
 
That's her first isn't it?

I've got 4- 10 down to 2, if Grandma and Grandpa take 'em and they return home alive and basically unscathed- I'm good.

Yep - & she says she trusts Will with me more than anybody else...heck, he's 16-months & I've been his only babysitter, along with Jerri.....she's laughing about it now & showing the photo to her friends...
 
When do you teach him the *real man* things. Like channel-surfing, crotch-scratching, belching?

Has he his own set of wrenches yet? Car books? Get with the program Gramps. Bailey's socket set is already wrapped in Christmas paper... she's teething on the wrenches and we're working on double clutching.

My wife told me the 2 year old went missing for a few minutes...she found him in the garage at my vintage bike-cycle replica...he fabricated a better throttle linkage that I did.
