B has a hard time fasting. He has been in a growth spurt for the last 6 months! He is constantly hungry and gets shaky. He goes to bed hungry and begging for food to be left out in the morning. This usually happens on nights when he gets on the computer and forgets to eat at 7pm. I even have an alarm on my phone to remind myself to offer L and B food before bedtime. L doesn't usually eat dinner. I just feed him whenever he is hungry which is usually right before bedtime when the medicine wears off.
Last month B offered that he could fast something else instead of food. He suggested he could fast "being mean". I thought that was funny since B is pretty good at being nice. But he is probably mean about as often as people eat breakfast.
His fast offering prompted me to fast from getting on my children about their chores on Sundays. Fasting from food isn't hard, but I do think that I can keep the Sabbath day more holy if I just do the chores myself or let them go on Sunday.
