Appetite

Constructing with boxes in preschool

Nick woke up with a little bit of vomiting. He was definitely under the weather this morning but seems fine now.

This is what, it turns out, Nick eats when he is under the weather: a full bowl of chocolate-chip oatmeal, a couple pieces of summer sausage, melted cheese on a tortilla, a peanut butter honey sandwich, some dry Cheerios, a couple pieces of cheese, and a peanut butter honey tortilla. So far.

Don't worry, he is feeling fine after all that.

And today was not a preschool day, so we haven't been anywhere.

Doesn't he look tired in that blurry photo from preschool? Preschool wears him out. He really loves it, but it can be a little too much sometimes.

Shall we examine what Xander has eaten today?

A full bowl of chocolate-chip oatmeal and leftover spaghetti.

Their appetites are so different. Xander has a fine appetite, but with food, he can often take it or leave it. Nick can take it, and take it, and take it, and take it, and take it....

Nick and I are alike in this way, and Xander and Erik are like each other.
