Supersize Me

Molly,

Very rarely have you met a food you don't like.  We're extremely lucky that you're not a picky eater.  You like squash and edamame, love carrots and applesauce, and you will try most things, even if just once.  (The rare exception is bananas -- you don't like bananas.)

And when you hit growth spurts, you REALLY eat.  Like this past week... one night I had to work late.  You and Daddy called to chat...

  Daddy:  "Molly, how many chicken nuggets did you eat?"

  MP:      "Six!"

  Daddy:  "How many bowls of applesauce did you eat?"

  MP:       "Two!"

  Daddy:  "How many carrots did you eat?"

  MP:       (Pause)  "A lot!"


Then tonight, when I picked you up from Y-Care, you were eating some corn chips and animal crackers.  We got home and you had two string cheese sticks and a Capri-Sun lemonade.  Then we had Costco chicken for dinner (two big helpings), mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots), applesauce, and mashed potatoes.  And you went to bed without a peep.

You grow, my little Peanut.  You grow.

Love,
Mommy
