Another BIG step forward!


Another big step forward! When we were blessed with David he had not gained even a pound for 9 months. He would eat two small meals in a day after they had put him on Ritalin at age of two. Ritalin has stunned his growth. We immediately took him off the drug and began to encourage him with food when he came home. Slow but sure he has gained weight, but still never seems real hungry like a busy boy should be.

However, lately he has been showing a desire to eat more!!! Tonight was amazing. He ate his chicken sandwich, downed some chips, ate two cup cakes and sat down with me to watch Veggie Tales and ate almost an entire bag of popcorn.

I will look back on this and laugh when he is a teenager and eating us out of house and home. Oh the simple JOY of parenting!

  1. Yes, enjoy this time while your boys are young and not eating you out of house and home. We have 2 petite girls (13 1/2 and 8) and 2 BIG boys (15 and 10) and we go through 3 gallons of milk and 3 gallons of chocolate milk EVERY 6 - 7 days. 1 GALLON A DAY?! Washington State dairy farmers LOVE our BIG family! ;D
