Poop on Polycose!

My doctors had mommy add polycose to my milk so I could get extra calories to offset how much I burn just breathing. This was designed to help me pack on some pounds so I could get bigger really quickly. But polycose was a real pain because it does not dissolve and instead, just mixes in the milk, and the little grains would sometimes plug up the nipple on my bottles to prevent milk from coming out. It was really frustrating -- I would suck and suck, and I wouldn't get any food! That wasn't very nice of the polycose.

At my last checkup with my pediatrician and cardiologist, the doctors were so pleased with my growth and weight gain that they told mommy she could discontinue using the polycose. We were so happy that we almost threw a "toss the polycose" party. Instead, we just flipped off the polycose can and put it in the corner for a much-deserved time out. Ha! That'll show that stupid polycose.

Now I don't have anything blocking the milk from flowing from the bottle to my mouth! Yaaaaaaay!
