I walked into the kitchen this evening to get started on dinner and found Declan making himself a snack. He had homemade bread with margarine, then sprinkles it with seasoned salt, spread on sour cream and sprinkled with shredded cheese. I asked what he was up to and his reply was "I was hungry!"
It reminded me of a time when he was little and he wouldn't eat the meals I gave him. I was concerned as he only wanted particular food which wasn't providing much variety or balance in his diet (can't remember what it was...but guaranteed it wasn't fruit or veges). I was talking to my sister Chris and voiced my concerns and her reply was "he won't starve, if he is hungry enough he will eat the food you give him."
Also when my kids were younger, I often said to my sister Wendi (whose children are more than 10 years older than my kids) I can't wait until my kids are more self sufficient and I don't have to do everything for them.
Now at the ripe old age of 15, it is amazing what concoctions Declan will come up with when he is hungry enough!
