"How much milk is he drinking?" the doctor asked at Henry's appointment a week or so ago.
I know what the answer should be. I wondered if I should answer with the "right" answer, which would be a total lie, or if I should be honest.
I decided I would be ambiguous instead.
"Oh, you know." I said. "He drinks plenty of milk" (for a small country).
"The recommendation is two to three cups a day" The doctor said. "Does he drink more than that?"
"Uh. Well. Yeah, maybe a little." I answered without being able to look the doctor in the eyes. "It's more like eight or nine." (Of the 12 oz sippy cups).
The doctor suggested I try and cut that back. I said, "I will." Knowing full well, I wouldn't.
The boy loves his milk. His Vitamin D whole milk. Lo-oves it.
Joe doesn't seem to think a growing boy can have too much milk. "It's good for brain development (read in deep-know-it-all-sounding voice)". So instead of cutting back the milk consumption, Joe showed up the next morning with a big gallon of Strawberry milk just to make a point. That Joe. He's hilarious.
So in case you're wondering, you can totally survive on milk alone. Henry is living proof.

LOL!!!! Milk does the body Good Right!! He is so cute.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. LINCOLN'S DRINK OF CHOICE IS MILK. A LOT OF MILK. OUR LITTLE FAMILY OF 3 GOES THROUGH ABOUT 4 GALLONS OF MILK A WEEKS. C.R.A.Z.Y. I KNOW WE SHOULD CUT BACK...BUT....
Dax loves milk and Wyatt won't touch it! He is totally addicted to Lemonaide (really crystal lite)! I don't really know which one I prefer. With how stinkin' cute Henry is, I'd just keep doing what you're doing!
thats awesome! let him drink all the milk he wants! i stuggle everyday to make sure preston drinks at least one cup a day (all he wants is juice or water)...so if henry will drink milk on his own then let the boy have at it!:)
