"Me Hungry, Mami"

Usually accompanied with an eager expression... we have had the children home for almost, ALMOST six months now. We have learned a little about what they do and do not like as far as foods go.

We have found out that the info given to us in our referral packet was not totally accurate. Andrew and Diego do NOT like salad, whereas Tatiana does.

Diego will eat about anything, at least once anyways...Andrew has gotten a little more picky, especially in the morning. He chooses or requests waffles each morning over cereal. He will likes cheese toast. Sometimes cinnamon toast works. He's been a trooper about school lunches which consist of daily turkey sandwiches, chips, either cookies or fruit, and a Capri Sun/water. He does like steak and one of his faves is chicken nuggets or pollo!

Diego has started exercising the "No!" word even at the table! He eats almost anything. He is the only one who will drink sweet tea. When someone is snacking or eating and he is not, he will walk around that person not say anything, but give "the look" and then lean up against ya. It is cute...it kindof reminds me of the little boy in Colombia who nudged Ben's arms wanting his scraps.

Tatiana eats little. She has become the more adventurous one of the bunch and does a few taste tests. The boys watch for her response to determine whether or not they will try the new food. Tatiana likes chicken nuggets and papa fritas.

They all like pollo y papa fritas. They all drink water real well, but do like Sprite, too. Each of them get tummy aches when they overeat. We have tried to tell people about their diets and how a lot of the greasy food we like does not do well on their tummies...they eat a lot of fruit, and drink lots of agua! Of course, they like sugar, too! Ice cream is their favorite, but cookies and cake come in close behind! Pizza, they have acquired a taste for...and they love queso at the Mexican Restaurant, just like Mami y Papi!
