how does an 8yr old eat THIS much..

for afternoon tea, straight after school, he had:

a big mug of hot milo (hot chocolate)

a ham, cheese and lettuce bread roll

2 slices of toast with margarine

2 bowls of breakfast cereal

How much is he going to eat as a teenager??  I buy 5kg's of apples each week and he will often eat 3-4 apples in the afternoon too!

my daughter is 8 and she can eat alot of food!!  she's not fat-not skinny either-just really tall. she's already almost 5 foot tall!! she is constantly asked in school if she is in 4th grade-nope she is in 2nd!!!

Oh gosh yeah, even my 6yr old eats like a hoover. Between them all I am seriously scared of when they hit teenagehood

 I'm in the same boat! My five & three year old eat like there is no tomorrow. My five year old ate two bowls of cereal, a cup of yogurt, and a banana this morning before he went off to school . I'm scared to think of how it's going to be when they're all teenagers, yikes!

My oldest is really tall too, catching up to his dad's 6'4. He's 4 1/2 feet right now! This kid is going to be taller than I am (5'4) by the time he's 8 O_O
