Before I had kids, I always figured that if kids didn't want to eat, it was no big deal. They would eventually get hungry and eat something when the needed to. But I failed to consider the extended period of ill humor that could ensue between the initial period of "should eat something" and up until the moment of "actually eating enough of substance so they are not throwing constant tantrums and driving me to commit infanticide".
Sarah is a poor eater. By that, I mean that she needs strong encouragement to eat enough food to give her sufficient energy to maintain a positive outlook and self-controlled demeanor. She actually will refuse to eat, get really ill-humored, and then not want to eat because her "tummy hurts." At this point she is particularly difficult to convince that eating will make her tummy feel better.
Luckily, Stephen is a hearty eater. Even though the pediatrician told us that he is too skinny (frowny face).
