[quote=Anonymous]We just got back from the doctor and that is what the print-out of the vital statistics said. My son is a twin and has an older brother. The other two boys are of normal weight. My son has always had a really good appetite since birth. There is no food he doesn't like. Since he likes everything, we serve lots of fruits and veg and he always eats everything.

We do not eat processed food, fast food, etc. I cook all of our food from scratch. We normally don't do dessert - maybe some fruit after supper. On weekends, I make cookies from scratch as a treat. This son always cleans his plate and will often have more than one serving of food. I don't limit what he eats because it is always a fresh home-cooked meal full of fish, vegetables, whole grains, etc.

He is as active as any 3-year-old. He is always running, climbing and jumping. He attends a Montessori preschool with 2 hours a day of outdoor play (they nap for 2 hours and do their "work" for the other 2 hours). We are outside almost every evening and on weekends.

What more should I be doing?[/quote]
