JC is not a "sweet" eater - i made him a peanut butter milk shake yesterday (a favorite of my biological fathers) and he wasnt happy - he drank it mind you, but said it was too sweet. so we are now going with potatoes, pastas, and such. i did ask him about the carnation instant breakfast, but again, he flat turned me down on that one too. i have about 3 weeks to get this weight on him and am starting to feel panicked. i have told him the difference between the "empty" calories from weight gain formulas from GNC and calories from food. i think he is starting to understand that somewhat. we were given a sample of something called "benecalorie" which adds about 350 calories to whatever you are drinking, so will give that a try too - does anyone have any other food hints????
