Operation Fatten Up Britta
Britta is really skinny, and for good reason. She doesn't eat. For awhile I thought she was my "good eater" because Karsten won't try anything new. Britta will put spinach and broccoli in her mouth on occasion. She just won't eat more than a bite or two of anything, ever. When I look how thin she is it worries me.
Starting tonight I'm going to haul my laptop over to the dining table and right before she goes to bed I'm going to have her watch Cinderella and see how much food I can stuff in her concave belly. I'm also going to order some more pediasure milk. Wouldn't it be great if I could just hook her up to an IV at night?

You know, my kids are /really/ skinny (I had the schoolteacher call me because of it) and the doctor I asked about it said: "as long as they are happy and are able to move and be active, everything is perfect". So, if she's running around and does what a little girl is supposed to do, and is happy with it: just don't worry and be glad that your kids are not one of these far too fat ones...Andrea

i've got one of those kids! Sabine is a skinny mini too. oy...my only hope is that she'll like to eat more than pasta, cheese and butter when she's an adult. it would make a boring dinner date otherwise. you know, for a while when sabine was a toddler and wouldn't eat anything, i would make her fresh or frozen fruit shakes with flax seed oil, honey and a bit of protein powder hidden behind the sweet facade. she ate them for breakfast each morning.
