She's staaaaararrrrrrvvvvvviiiiiinnngggggg!!!!!!!

So she says.

Since she got home from school, DD (almost 6) has eaten 2 biscuits, a slice of cheese, a small salad, half a piece of salmon, and two portions of mashed potato and sweetcorn. After dinner she went off to play with DS (which invovled pushing him around on the office chair until he fell on the floor but that's another thread!) while I cleaned the table and the kitchen. I loaded the dishwasher, put the rubbish in the bin, pots in the sink, wiped off all the placemats, kitchen counters, table & chairs adn put the leftovers in the fridge. The second I was done and everything was spotless she comes into the kitchen all wide-eyed:

Can I have something else mummy?

No. You left the table to play. Now everything is cleaned up and dinner time is over.

But I'm staaaaararrrrrrvvvvvviiiiiinnngggggg!!!!!!!

!!!!!!

give her an apple !

she says she had 2 at school!

I feel so mean because she's such a good eater but did she really have to wait until the second I'd finished clearing up after her??? Also, I can't possibly believe that she is really starving after what she's had to eat this afternoon. She only got home from school at 4!

she might have a non eating day tomorrow, it usually evens out !

Well, it does sort of even out in that DD eats everything and DS eats nothing!

dd is 3 and all i ever hear her say at the moment is im hungry!! she is even waking me up in the night and saying she is hungry! since yesterday she has polished off a whole box of cereal on top of her usual meals and snacks! she just seems to be constantly eating!
