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!
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
