After 2 years on the wait list he's in Speech at a private center. She plays games with him and in between turns he takes bites. He gets to pick anything he wants even if it's unhealthy. So far he's added oranges and apples! This is the first he's added foods in years! It's a struggle, but we're getting there.Cari Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398475850464519391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-11004842903937872002010-07-23T15:47:24.750-07:002010-07-23T15:47:24.750-07:00Hi Nancy,

When he is over tired, he will often refuse mixed textured foods that otherwise he would eat. But, anything he can put hot sauce on, any Mexican food, or any seafood he will absolutely EAT. More than me actually. LOL<br /><br />Thanks for the comment -- Gabe definitely prefers crunchy textured food (raw veggies, especially celry dipped in cream cheese), so expanding that is a great idea!<br /><br />HartleyHartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463016780946119637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-53179074199439277602010-07-22T14:24:26.338-07:002010-07-22T14:24:26.338-07:00It's a constant challenge, isn't it?

I figure, be grateful for what they do eat, cut out as much junk as possible, get the vitamins into them any way you can (esp. flax seed oil or fish oil), serve the healthy foods ad nauseum, and work on expanding their menu allllllll the time without making it a struggle. Oh yes, so easy to do. :)<br />Does Gabriel suck on lemons, crave pickles, or like really sour food?<br />Our saving grace has been crudite and steamed vegetables...no salt, not butter, no sauce, no mixed textures. It took years to get him to his current range but whatever else, I can say he now eats many different vegetables.Nancyhttp://www.sensorysmartparent.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-61137685696014873812009-10-13T19:51:12.363-07:002009-10-13T19:51:12.363-07:00I agree that damn Costco for switching the nuggets...I agree that damn Costco for switching the nuggets, i was so mad when that happened. <br /><br />EmmaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119287196764797798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572070976923021388.post-21734634540157315742009-10-12T14:48:23.878-07:002009-10-12T14:48:23.878-07:00Yes, very sensory seeking.
