Eva has a drinking problem. She is hyper-hydrated you might say. It goes like this: chocolate milk [instant breakfast] for breakfast. About every hour she makes a request. First she chooses apple juice, then soymilk, then cranberry juice, chocolate milk again, then orange juice. The problem is that she doesn't eat so much because she is busy drinking all day and that fills her up and leaves not much room for hunger. We thought that by throwing out all the sippy cups, her insatiable need to drink would ease up, but no. She now uses cups with a lid and a straw, specifically restaurant kid cups. And the straw must be red, unless we run out of red then she's mum on the straw issue until we need a new box then it's red only again. Anyway, about lunch time she stops asking so frequently and she munches here and there on actual food. She eats pretty healthy foods, she likes all fruits and vegetables and the only sandwich she will eat is tuna. She likes bologna also but only plain without the bread. Cereals and oatmeal also go over pretty good with her.
