Therapy Update

Tyler is making good progress with his OT for his feeding difficulties.

On Sunday, Brian shared some bacon off of his hamburger. When we were out of bacon, I offered Tyler little pieces of hamburger and he ate several pieces. He then reached for my french fry, so I gave him a small piece. He chewed it up and ate it!! He asked for more, and he put another piece in his mouth, but he didn't like it. He made a face and pulled it back out of his mouth. But he put it on his tray and didn't throw it in the floor!

Yesterday, when we were playing with peas, he smooshed with with a great flair. Then I said, "Can you hold it in your hand?" When we first started this a week or so ago, I had to hold his hand and put a pea in his hand. He hated it and shook the pea out of his hand as soon as he could. Yesterday, he picked up a pea with his right hand. He stared at his left hand and turned it palm up. He put the pea in his palm and looked at me, grinning.

Today at therapy, Tyler ate two small pieces of apple. He also ate teeny tiny pieces of egg and pea off his fingers and he stuck a Jell-O-covered finger in his mouth. He had Jell-O all over himself, his therapist, me and the wall. It would've been hard not to get some Jell-O in his mouth!
