Oh! And a cheese stick that was requested after eating the above. How she only weighs 20 lbs is beyond me. [/quote]

Really? That's not much food (unless she eats a lot more later in the day). My 2.5 year old is in a hungry phase. He ate the following:

5 oz milk, 1 scrambled egg plus a few pieces of my egg, 3 vegetable/fruit pouches, 1 piece of toast with a bit of almond butter. He tends to eat a ton at breakfast and lunch and skimp on dinner.[/quote]

NP here. That's an insane amount, is he just high on the percentiles? [/quote]

He's tall -- 90% I think at his 2 year old visit -- but about 50th percentile for weight. Extremely active, but they all are at this age. And, like I said, he packs in the calories early in the day and then eats very little at dinner. Also we only do one snack, in the morning, so he eats 4 times a day rather than 5 like some kids do.[/quote]

Don't worry about it! My kids almost all have one "great" meal, and then two middling or even one non-existent meal per day (oldest is 6 and still eats this way). Which meal it is that they don't much eat changes from time to time, and they'll shovel it in like circus performers during a growth spurt, but as long as it isn't keeping them up at night, I don't try to make them eat.

My son is exactly the same.  He had a full-sized bowl of steel-cut oatmeal, a slice of peanut butter toast, a banana, and milk.  Then he goes to daycare and eats breakfast again, then lunch and snack, and another snack on the way home.  He eats a very small amount at dinner.  I'm trying to figure out a way to get dinner food into him on the way home.  [/quote][/quote]
