Super excited mommy moment. Today at OT my baby tried A TON of new things.
Mini Corn Dogs
Apples Sliced with Caramel
Green Beans
Cooked Carrots
Seasoned Potatoes
NONE of these things he's tried since he was eating them pureed as a baby. He hasn't had any use for them at all. Any attempts to talk him into eating them before today ended with a furious child and an exhausted mommy. But today he just let go of his control & enjoyed himself!!
I just had to brag ;) Any mommy with a picky eater in OT knows what this kind of day feels like!!

And Another Update On Homeschool...and some new foods in the mix as well...
We are making more progress by the day. The number of words Kade can read grows each day, as well as his ability to relate & apply them. He is able to read (most of our books) for me when it's story time. Another new development, handwriting. It's gotten so much more legible. He is so proud of himself for being able to write things out himself when commanded. We have also been working on a lot of Social Studies & Science activities that are age appropriate as well.
My proud moment of the week...Kade is eating Chicken Nuggets!! It started out Monday at Bilo when I suggested some Perdue Monsters University chicken nuggets. He's on a Monsters Inc./Monsters University kick. He said he promised he would try them if I bought them. Going to OT has helped TREMENDOUSLY with adding healthier options to his diet. But chicken suggestions used to bring on this reply: "I'm not going to eat a chicken, Mommy!" Relating the food to the critter. Lovely. Not anymore, Thank Goodness!! As soon as we got in from the store, I cooked a cookie sheet full of them. He ate 2 his first attempt!! And just today he actually asked for chicken nuggets & fries for lunch as soon as we finished school. Being able to add onto his already expanding diet is a blessing. His OT will be proud, she's SUCH an amazing woman & LOVES my child. I love that she doesn't just see him as another picky eater, but she truly cares for him & doesn't push him to objecting point.
Anywho, just wanted to update. Thank you for reading! Have a great night ;)
