Since getting up this morning, Kaitlyn has started eating three different things, then claimed to be too full to finish any of them, then claimed to be starving. GAH. My kitchen is not an all-you-can-eat buffet.
A bowl of cereal that she took three bites of was rejected for a yogurt, which I think she ate most of, then she got a banana from the kitchen and ate most of that, and then just now? You know what she asked me?
WHEN’S LUNCH TIME?
I don’t know if this is a growth spurt or what, but this constant grazing but never being satisfied thing is going to drive me INSANE.

Dear Elizbeth
I am father of two kids ,my wife is facing the same situation on daily basis .no doubt being a mom is not easy task.is bloging easy or handling kids what your opinion ? thanx for sharing
To my mind it is just a crisis of transitional age, not more. At your place i wouldn’t worry at all.
I’m worried about seeing this behavior soon. I can’t stand waste. My father used to save everything I didn’t finish when I went through this phase and I couldn’t have something new until I finished the old one. I think it worked out until I started eating everything on my plate. No dessert was a very effective threat to me at dinner.
I think that is much better than not having an appetite at all.
Multiply that time 3-4, and yup. That’d be why I can’t get anything like packing and such done during the day.
Yep both my kids are like that at every meal. I usually give them the option before they eat of what they want within limits. If they want something different then they can wait till the next meal. I got really tired of making 3 or 4 different things for every meal. They learned pretty quick and I don’t really have that issue anymore.
