Update on MJ

Well, I took a lot of the feedback and decided that I was going to try and feed MJ more protein and carbs to get her feeling more full and sleeping through the night.  She is a little garbage disposal.  I found out, though that there is a limit to the amount of food she should eat.  Well, Brandon found out the hard way.  That night she ate so much that she threw up in her bed after she went to bed.  Yep.  She overate.  She's not quite gotten the concept of cutting herself off.

So yesterday we took it a little slower.  She still ate quite a bit, but I think she sort of understood that if she wasn't hungry she shouldn't eat.  We had an impromptu stop at CFA yesterday, mid afternoon.  Both kids ate between 4-6 nuggets each.  Along with fries and fruit too.

I think this will be a learning process.  MJ is definitely a LOT different than JJ as far as nutrition goes.  JJ wouldn't hardly touch a thing.  At least MJ will try stuff.  Most of the time.  I have been trying to get her to try the things we are eating so she can just eat whatever we're having so I won't have to cook an additional 2 separate meals. 

I guess kids know what they need and know how much they need (well, most of the time).  When JJ is hungry, he eats.  I guess it will be the same routine with MJ.
