Eversince Gavin started his preschool last month, I found that he is quite a big eater nowadays.
Everyday before leaving for school, I will normally prepare him a lunchbox with some breakfast snacks like french toast, cheese/peanut butter sandwich etc for him to eat during his morning snack time at school although the school will provide morning snack too because I thought that the home prepared snack can be a stand-by meal if he does not like the snack prepared by the school since he only take 1 bottle of milk without any breakfast before leaving the house. And, most of the time, he will finish all his home prepared snack as well as the school one, so I thought, he is taking a good portion of breakfast and certainly that's a good sign.
When comes to lunch time, the school will also prepare lunch for the students, and Gavin will take his lunch at school before leaving for home. Sometimes he might not finish the portion when comes to not-so-favourite dish but if he is offered his favourite dish like western food or fry noodle, he will ask for more, sometimes taking up to 3 portions! So I guess the school might worry of 'rugi' (making a lost) because Gavin's consumption is huge, haha!
And when Gavin reach home after school, he will request for somemore food again when he see us ( my mom and myself) having our lunch and he will definitely finish his new portion of lunch with a big 'burp'!
Next, when comes to naptime, he surely wants another bottle of milk and this time is only 1-2 hours apart from the lunch he took earlier. This will last until dinner time.
After finishing his dinner, he will start to hunt for food again and normally this time he will be hunting in the fridge and the pursuading process will happen as below….
Gavin : ‘Let’s see what kind of snack is in the fridge.’
Once he spotted his prey like chocolates, vitagen, cakes, jelly, fresh milk, cornflakes, biscuits etc, he will go….
Gavin : ‘Mummy do u like to have some xxx?’
Eve : ‘No, I don’t like.’
Gavin : ‘Y you don’t like, mummy? Its very nice wor, very nice.’
Before I can comment anything, he will be starting to eat the snack already.
After having his favourite snack, he will take some fruits too until bedtime, he will need the last bottle of milk of the day before he sleeps.
Sometimes I'm worrying that Gavin might throw up one day because he might over eaten too much but maybe he is having his growth spurt so I think as long as he is happy and enjoy his food then i should not be worrying too much.
I love to look at Gavin whenever he is enjoying his food because he looked very contented and satisfied with his lovely meal, he is cute indeed!

I think Gavin is just natural, like any other toddler growing up. Watching my little Owen eating is just as funny & lovely.
Gavin says "Mummy, I need iron, vitamins, protein & carb. to be like Superman."
Have fun exploring the food in this universe!
