Weird Kid

Pot's teeth have been hurting. We finally figured out why:

Pot will take a bite of rice, but will only swallow about 90% of it. The rest goes into storage on the sides of his mouth like a chipmunk. He'll walk away from the table, with a chaw of rice in his mouth tucked up, back and away... for later enjoyment, as far as we can guess.

What does starch become when exposed to saliva for 30 seconds (or 30 minutes)? Sugar.

So now, we have started checking Pot's mouth to make sure he isn't running away from the table with his own version of a doggie bag.
