Henry - how can one little boy survive on so little sleep? I am not kidding when I tell you that Henry has never slept more than 3 consecutive hours. By the time he was 1 year old, he was drinking 4 bottles of formula during the night. Now he wakes up almost hourly yelling "tea" or "coke," possibly "juice." If I give him water he throws the cup and says "no!"

Nate - how can one little boy survive on so little food? This guy can go days without eating much more than a few bites of brown rice and some broccoli. The "self-proclaimed vegetarian" is what his doctor refers to him as. I'm sure he'll outgrown this and start eating chicken nuggets & fries about the time I'm wanting him to eat a little healthier.

Interesting, huh? You take two fairly normal parents, who like to sleep and really love to eat and you get 2 completely different kids. I suppose that's what is so exciting about meeting your child. You never know what you're gonna get. But I don't think any mom or dad is ever disappointed.

It sounds like Henry and Zachary have alot in common. Zachary, too, is very particular about what he gets in his cup (especially in the middle of the night). He only wants milk and, like Henry, he throws it down if it is anything different!
