the size of a small chicken. or preemie.

There are some things I simply can't prevent.  They must be genetic.

Like, for example, Ari's appreciation of bathroom humor.  Or his ability to collect a whole lot of crap.  And now, his potty mouth.

Uh, hmm, yeah.  Really, I'm not proud of this.

In other news, Ari gained 4 pounds in exactly 1 week.

His steroid induced appetite this week consisted of edamame and white spiral pasta which he carefully removed from the Trader Joes Mediterranean Pasta Salad.  (The chick peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley remained untouched.)  In total (but still counting), he ate 11 bags of edamame and 13 packages of pasta.  He supplemented his soy and carb diet with 3 1/2 gallons of whole milk, 4 avocado sushi rolls, and 12 cups of popcorn.

Mighty impressive don't you think?

The good news is Ari gained a lot of weight!

The bad news is... so did I!

Fuck.
