Why isn't he eating?

I could have never imagined that I would have to worry about my child not eating. If he is anything like me, he would love to eat... beg for food even. But of course no... he is just like his daddy. They are always too busy to eat. Dez keeps telling me that I should like let him be or go starving even and he will learn to eat when he needs to. But gosh... that is the hardest thing I have had to do. Watching him falling him into a lower curve everytime we go for his checkup is the greatest torture and i dread the moment he goes onto the weighing scale at his pediatrician's. It feels like I had failed to perform my duty as a mother and caregiver.

I dunno... I have yet to reach a Zen mentality on this matter - maybe I will never be able to. It is frustrating but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is just another phase. Although I am not totally convinced that that will go away since he has never liked to eat and probably will never be.

On the happier note, we bought tons of Mediterranean Heath for the garden and hopefully we will be able to clean up the garden and plant them in the next few days. It's spring soon... can't wait!!!
