food habits... 2 year olds...

so yesterday it was like pulling teeth to get afton to eat anything. i kept thinking, well, she just must not be hungry... then she'd ask for a cookie.

today different story. between waking up this morning and now (almost naptime) she's eaten the following:
1 bowl of raisin bran with milk
juice
1 pear
1/2 apple
2 chips with salsa (sample at the store)
2 hot dogs with correspondingly copious amounts of ketchup
6 slices of pickle
1 banana
1 string cheese
6 crackers
1 cup hot cocoa
1 cup milk
then when asked if she wanted a cookie cause she ate her lunch so well, she said, "no, wan crackers" so she got a few more crackers :)

gotta love em'!

Holy cow that's a lot of food for one little girl! She's like the Hungry Caterpillar.

Other than the hotdogs it sounds like she ate a pretty healthy day's worth of food. But I can't understand passing up a cookie for a cracker?!

They all do things at their own rate and in their own time. Stillman doesn't like to eat until he's been awake for at least 2-3 hours. Then he sometimes noshes for the rest of the day. But he seems healthy and happy, so I try not to kvetch. Wow, did I just become Jewish?
