We are working on some self feeding. Yay!!!!!
Nathan gets pretty excited about chocolate pudding. It is a good consistency because it is smooth (their preferred texture) but does not slide off the spoon as easy as yogurt. Today he put it to his lips a few times and also really enjoyed stirring his spoon in the pudding, putting his hand in it (which is a big deal for a kid that has as many texture issues as Nathan), painting his nose and his other arm. He had a great time with his chocolate pudding.
Owen enjoys trying to use his spoon but it is harder for him because his arms tighten up a lot. So, we decided to let him try eating Popsicles. This allows him to self feed but he does not have to bend his arms quite as much. He loved the popsicle!!
Love the popsicle idea!
