Jamison has a special diet plan that we incorporate into lunch everyday. He has 1 item from each food group with similar colors and different textures each day. Today the theme was "green" so, instead of coloring a meat stick with food coloring, which looks very icky by the way, we made him some green eggs. I was wondering how he would do with this considering eggs are wiggly and slimy feeling... but he loved it!
His diet today consisted of:
Protein: Green Eggs
Starch: Guacamole Chips
Veggies: Spring Vegetables Pureed (green)
Fruit: Pear Applesauce
Dairy: Key Lime Yogurt
and Green Lemon-Lime Jello for desert.
Jamison always does well with his yogurt, so this was offered first, he ate it with a big smile... then he decided to try the eggs, well... his first reaction when the food went in was gagging... he did not enjoy it one bit but then he decided to chew and believe it or not, he went in for seconds!! He enjoyed this meal plan so much we decided to copy it for tomorrows meal plan... who knows how the second time around will go, but I'm hoping better than the first even!!
This is just another example of how Jamison is changing everyday. He's learning to experience new things, even if he's been hesitant for a while, eventually he'll come around at least for a "taste test!"
We also purchased a little massager, it looks like an animal and each foot vibrates. Jamison loves this so much, I'm really going to have to go to Costco and stock up on batteries!! Every time he has it he puts it on top of his head and smiles and giggles. He also loves to massage the back of his neck, I'm not sure why he loves it so much but I'm sure to him it's an amazing sensory experience!
And believe it or not, I still see changes in this amazing little boy every single day, maybe they are small... and maybe most people wouldn't notice, but I do. I love to watch him change and grow, I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!!
