I'm Starving!

My 4 year old!  What a boy!  Not a minute passes by in this house quietly!  His latest thing is he is constantly hungry or thirsty when he is not occupied.  You'd think at this age he'd be able to do something by himself, its not as though he doesn't have any toys to play with, he's got 2, yes 2, toyrooms!  But still constantly at my feet!

Its the way he asks as well that drives me crazy!  In an ideal perfect world it would be, 'mummy, is it snack time yet? as I am a little bit hungry, please may I have', but no, in this house, H asks for a snack like so, 'Mam, I'm starving!'.  Jeez it drives me crazy!  I don't even think he is actually hungry, he's just bored.  He eats more than me in a day.  I try to make his snacks as healthy as I can but when I ask him what he's starving for, his reply is always 'sweets'.

Once he is fed and watered, like 5 times a day, it seems, he's happy for 5 minutes in front of the tv or once in a blue moon, playing by himself in his toy room without my help until he gets bored of what he's doing and then its back to 'mam, I'm starving'.  ARGH!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love him to bits and wouldn't change him for the world, but he sure knows how to drive me round the bend!
