He really does get plenty to eat

This morning the kids were playing in the living room and at one point Megan was around the corner.  I went to check on her and when I came back Sam was chewing.  We are constantly having to check his mouth because he finds stray cheerios or grass or something and he will eat it.  Well, when I looked at him and saw him chewing I also noticed that his cheeks were bulging.  I yelled SAM! to get him to stop chewing until I could get to him.  He immediately opened his mouth to start crying and I couldn't believe what I saw. 

That boy's mouth was completely FULL of a stress type ball.  At the holidays Wal-Mart always has foam balls in the shape of characters and the one Sam ate was Santa.  It took me a good minute or two to get all of the pieces out of his mouth because he wanted to eat it so bad that he kept clamping his jaw down and then he would start chewing again.  Seriously?  I am digging around in his mouth getting everything out and the kid is still trying to eat it.  I held onto everything I got out which included 3 chunks the size of an egg yolk and multiple smaller pieces.  I wanted Will to see how much he fit in his mouth.  He had to have bitten it several times to accomplish what I was looking at and I was only out of the room for 5-8 seconds or so.  

Of course he got in trouble and was told not to eat balls so imagine my surprise when I returned from the chiropractor to hear that he had done it again with a baseball foam ball.  This time he only had 3 small pieces but oh my goodness.  Will said he got into trouble again and then I banned him from all balls for the rest of the night.  

I guess pot roast, carrots, baby corn, broccoli and potatoes wasn't enough of a dinner and he needed something more.
