Eating question..

May 14, 2001

I gotta ask.. is this increase in eating habits temporary or is this the way

he's gonna be from now on?

I went from having a kid who, 3 weeks ago, hardly ate anything that wasn't

brown, crunchy, and room temperature to one that WON'T STOP EATING! The last

week and a half or 2 weeks he's been non stop eating it seems.. For

example..He would never have touched an egg before (made him gag) and he had

2 scrambled for breakfast yesterday... Today for lunch he had:

2 1/2 Hebrew National Red. Fat hot dogs--no buns, just the franks

1/2 cup mashed potatoes

handful baked french fries

1/4 steamed carrot

half a banana

4 oz rice milk

1 GFCF ginger cookie

Then about 2 hrs later he had 4 pieces (about 3 " x1 " ) of homemade

'granola' bar that I made for him and another 4 oz rice milk. Then an hour

later he had 2 slices of CF soymage mozarella cheese slices (which, he must

have TOTALLY forgotten what real cheese tastes like to eat this stuff..

BLECH) and another granola bar. Then he laid down on the beanbag and fell

asleep.. This is a 35 " tall, 25-ish lb 25.5 mo old.. he's not that big to

hold that much IMO! LOL!

I don't offer this much at a sitting.. I offered, originally, 1 hot dog

and some fries. He ate that, then came to me signing " more " and leading me

by the hand to the fridge. I'd open the door and he'd pull out whatever it

was he wanted. FINALLY, he'd had enough and stopped. I hope this is just a

temporary growth spurt and not the norm for the future! LOL! I wanted him to

get out of his crunchy brown rut, but this is nuts! He's gonna eat me out

of house and home..
