It's been a while...

...since I've last blogged. Last week was a haze, at least for me, with Devin under the weather. I think I did laundry 5 times or could be more, after a couple of times I lost count. He had a stomach virus that lasted about 5 days. Everything he drank or ate just went right through him and one of those days he didn't eat more than three bites of food. We tried Pedialyte, gatorade but he only wanted water (I should've thought of smart water but really, I didn't think...). Then he wanted vitamin water, and we found one flavor that actually contained electrolyte...By Saturday (he started not feeling well Monday), he felt better, he ate little but everything stayed inside of him, thank God!

And this week, Devin is eating like a teenager! Most of the mornings this week, he would have 2 breakfasts, a normal lunch, a snack after his nap (which is usually another lunch size meal) and a good size dinner. For example- today, he had an egg & 2 turkey sausages for breakfast (his usual breakfast), some bread sticks for snack, half of a ham & cheese wrap and a hot dog (with bread) for lunch, 2 more turkey dog with a slice of bread after his nap and some pasta with chicken parm (almost same portion as Andrew's) for dinner with some bread. Then right before he went to bed tonight, he said he was hungry & wanted some bread...he ate a mini croissant and a slice of italian bread. OK-where does it all go in this 3 year old boy?! I wanted to say he's just making it up for last week but he would eat like this a few times a month. Not that I mind at all, I just find it humorous & a joy to watch him eat.

Playing with his friends at Astoria Park after his swimming class & a big lunch.
