I'm sooo behind - but will try to catch up on some of the highlights of the last couple of weeks - sometime. ;-) Just thought I'd share a little funny.
Earlier today as I was coming down the stairs I heard someone in the refrigerator. As I entered the kitchen and saw our 4yo, I asked him what he was trying to find. Now, to those that may not remember, this is our child that we've been working on with sensory issues - lots of them manifesting themselves in feeding issues. He eats mostly white/brown foods and not very many of them.
He poked his head around the door and asked if it was alright for him to get a carrot!!! I was stunned and said that he was welcome to a carrot any time! So, he helped himself to one small carrot and really did eat it!
He must be enjoying this freedom as I saw him do it again later in the day.
I'm just thrilled he is eating a vegetable! It's really his only one unless you count the pumpkin I put into his favorite muffins.
Yeah Daniel!!!
Blessings,
Leslie
Aren't kids funny! Just to let you know we're back after a long break. Trying to get back to normal I suppose! Have lots to tell and show. Sean is doing great, I hope you are all well.

Hey Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI'm cheering for you and Daniel. My 8yo has similar "issues" with food, and I would be thrilled to catch him sneeking in the refrigerator to find a carrot. The trips to therapy are paying off. Keep up the good work. I proud of both of you!
Love, Cyndi
yay!! Gavin used to have a lot of food issues with his sensitivities, I remember how exciting it was when he would finally eat new foods!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME!!! Yay for Daniel! I'm so excited for you and for him! :o)
ReplyDeleteI bet you are one happy momma! I am glad that He gave you a bit of joy today!
