This afternoon I gave Samuel a plate of messy food (which I try to do several times a week) to let him play in. He rubs his hands it it, smashes it, and throws it off the highchair. That's usually it.
But today was different. Don't ask me why....but when I put the macaroni down in front of him he actually picked up a few pieces and ate them (without gagging!!!)
Oh man oh man. I'm pumped. (PS. Just ignore my voice. I was paying more attention to what he was doing than what I was saying. I'm pretty sure I repeated myself a few times.)
YAY! YAY! YAY! What a huge breakthrough. Hopefully, he will do it again. Once he realizes macaroni is pretty good, he might want it all the time!
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! Way to go both of you!! Truly - heartfelt excitement for you! We've had such a long road with table food here - I still congratulate Mary Louise and David when they have "big eater" meal times! WONDERFUL news for you!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I need to do the messy meals with Jack way more often.
ReplyDeleteYay, you did such a great job of staying calm with him, even though I could hear big time excitement in your voice, like you wanted to jump for joy.
