More Than a Mouthful
My son’s eating habits have become more and more concerning to me. He just doesn’t. Eat. It takes him a half-hour to eat a PB&J. He just doesn’t seem to enjoy eating. It’s a task, even with food I know he likes.
I don’t know why I worry. He’s very obviously not suffering from a lack of energy, though I wish we’d give him a better balance of healthier food. For some reason, I just can’t stop from thinking that he should be eating…more.
I’ve always known that a kid’s stomach is as big as his fist. But this chart from the National Fatherhood Initiative really makes an impact: one serving of meat for a preschooler is equivalent to two matchbooks. I’m only supposed to be eating an iPod.
Now that the portions have been clarified for me, I just need to focus on working more golf balls into his diet.

Eating Ipods? What are you, some kind of damn robot?
