My son is built like me. Actually, one of my daughter is built like me too. By “built like me”, I mean tall, and skinny. We’re not concerned about the skinny daughter, because she eats like a truck driver. I’m quite sure she’s getting enough food and calories. My son on the other hand, is an incredibly picky eater. He hates meat (unless it’s a hot dog, or bologna) and what he does eat, he takes in very small quantities.
I’ve just recently become more concerned about this, because he’s had another growth spurt, and he’s too tall for his pants. He was wearing size 5 pants with an adjustable waist (he wears them to school as part of his uniform.) And the adjustable waist was cinched ALL the way in. Now his size 5 pants are hitting him at his ankles (where’s the flood?) and we need to go up a size, but even if I cinch in the size 6 pants all the way, they’re still hanging off him like a gang banger.
We’re going to make an appointment with his doctor to talk about it – maybe it’s time to get him more calories with something like Ensure. (Blech!) Other than altering his pants, I don’t know what to do!
