As now he's three and I have to shovel a few spoonfuls of cereal in for breakfast, let him push vegies around his plate for lunch, then perhaps have a couple of forkfuls of risotto or something similar for dinner... I'm constantly serving up dish-fuls of food that go uneaten even with my constant coaxing and bargaining.<br />Much prefered him being a big eater but I can understand how that "mother-doubt" can interfere... I do remember thinking I was giving him too much to eat, back in the day!Petajohttp://petajo.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-6720597038971955442011-02-08T19:38:35.795+08:002011-02-08T19:38:35.795+08:00Sigh.

Both are now long and skinny, with no apparent bottoms to speak of.Life In A Pink Fibrohttp://lifeinapinkfibro.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-59383325597586171712011-02-08T12:29:54.622+08:002011-02-08T12:29:54.622+08:00Both my girls have been good eaters.

Not only do they consume enough for a small island nation, they do it at lightning speed. I haven't even finished preparing our food and they're doing Orphan Annie renditions at my feet with the empty plates, hopeful looking faces, and the "more...more...more".
