I definitely do this. It's even more accentuated ATM because we're in America on holiday. DD I have no worries about. She is so slim, always has been, weighs 10.5kg at age 2. DS on the other hand, I worry about. The kid just eats so much. Not even unhealthily, but quantity. I have to stop him by giving him really small first portions because he always wants seconds. I weigh more than I look, iykwim - took after my dad who is a very heavy (and overweight) person and I fear the same for DS.

It goes to show that it is genetic though, as I feed both of my kids the same thing!

To top it off he's not as active in jersey as I'd like him to be, purely because the activities aren't there for him to participate in. I'm hoping that will change a little when he starts school in September and they keep him active, like in Aussie schools.
