She did it!! This afternoon, I was telling Karianna (my assistant/babysitter) about Taylor eating spaghetti last night. She told Karianna that she didn't chew it, just swallowed it. Karianna asked her if she liked it and she still said YES!!!
So, I tried again tonight. Two bites was the goal this time and the goal was for her to actually bite into it. Its all about the Jolly Ranchers... she wanted them, and I told her she could have them if she ate 2 pieces and actually bit one! She did it!! It was a fight at first, but finally I just walked away and she did it. She was so proud of herself. She finally got past that fear and just did it!! Once the first piece was down, the second one was a BREEZE!! I am so proud of her for trying it and who knows, MAYBE I'll get her to eat 5 pieces next time (almost the equivalent of one bite!)! I'd sure love to see her get past these eating issues, especially since I can't find her "choca" (Chocolate Atkins Shakes) ANYWHERE. My friend checked one Albertsons and I checked another and they didn't have them - out of them. I checked WalMart which is where I've always bought them and they don't even have a place on the shelf anymore! I hope that the changes they made to it a few months didn't destroy their sales. If they stopped making it I don't know what we'll do for her! Here's hoping she'll eat more noodles and maybe someday a whole meal without crackers or yogurt! : )
