Food! The ongoing food saga. Brooke eats, so we don't complain. She has interesting tastebuds but we roll with it. Unfortunately, in the morning, she's S L O W!!! Even if she gets up at 6am, she doesn't have time to sit and eat. Because she just doesn't move! So for the past year or two, she eats chocolate poptarts in the van on the way to school. Her sisters won't sit in her seat, because she makes a mess. Today I brought her too the grocery store and said, "please find something, anything." She found Nutri Grain bars. That's a good start. However, she had to try one tonight, to make sure she liked it. She's been eating one bar for 30 minutes and is still deciding if she likes it. I don't know what to say.
We also struggle with lunches. She's been known to bring steak, chicken, casserole. She wanted mandarin oranges. So I grabbed the lunch ones in the plastic cup. Nope! "Mom, they taste funny in plastic, I like them out of the can." Really!! So it appears she may be eating beef jerky and a can of mandarin oranges for lunch. Could be worse :)
I must say, this is much better than tube feedings. So I'll take it. I will always keep chocolate poptarts and M&M's on back up.
