YES. lungs.

I mean bigger is healthier when it comes to many kids (until they get fat then it's all bets are off). And kids with breathing issues can register as tiny on the scales. AND Grace is probably in the 10% range for her height and weight and age. Maybe closer to 5%.

AND, Grace did lose 100 grams since the last visit in September.

What kills me is that no one cares that Noah weighs less and eats like shit. Grace eats like some Whole Foods/Michael Pollan goddess. She gets sardines, kale, beets, quinoa, brown rice, cashew or almond butter, coconut milk, flax seeds and oil, broccoli, carrots, brussel sprouts, chicken breast. Are you kidding? This kid's diet is better than like 90% of the population. She never has chicken nuggets or fries.

Maybe I should give her a strict diet of chicken nuggets, fries and milk shakes and then she'd gain?

That is not any sort of trip I have ever taken. My bag for this weekend, staying 1-2 nights:

1 pair pjs, 1 pair shoes, 2 pair jeans (wear one down), 1 skirt, 3 shirts (wear one down), 2 cardigans, 1 coat (wear down), toilitries, 2 knitting projects, 1 book

My aunt who has just had some massive GI issues (including surgery) can't seem to gain the weight back. She has also stopped drinking coffee, which would seem to be a good thing, but I bet the loss of the massive amounts of half-and-half she was having with the coffee isn't helping her gain weight.... So, damned if you do, damned if you don't, I guess.

you could buy some of that weight gain 800000 or whatever it us called at the gnc/vitamin store thingies. Grace can be our little bodybuilder.

3 nightgowns for 10 days?

Oh my. ::looks shame faced at much loved, but no longer actually white night shirt::

Once I get comfy with a nightshirt, I don't sleep around. I'm monogamous that way. It gets washed, but not rotated.

I'm gonna go ahead and call that the 10-day packing list for a slutty girl weekend.

Grace as body builder is RIFE with humor.

But she went from NOT walking in September to like crazy moving girl. Of course she weighs less because she's more active. Maybe we can increase volume instead.

For a ten day trip you need a shirt each day AND six dress shirts AND 4 dresses?

And no way two pairs of shoes is enough for all that.

Drop two nightgowns, six shirts, at least two dresses and two pairs of pants, and use the extra room for more shoes. (IOW, I am ita and have taken five pairs of shoes on weekend trips, easy.)

And no way two pairs of shoes is enough for all that

I think she was wearing a third pair on the plane, but still! Even as a "going to a tropical destination" thing, with THAT many clothes...flip flops, sandals, and nice shoes. But I hate wearing sandals on the plane because it's cold, so.

I don't think I want to be in cowboy boots all weekend. And I'm not sure it would look good with whatever I pick to wear to the pre-wedding festivities, but I don't want heels yet.

Or maybe they go fine with the velvet dress. I don't know.
