Can you put this to use by salting some unacceptable foods until they might become acceptable? We used to use lemon juice to soak up salt, for example: then perhaps you could add lemon to his list of foods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-16800223526750221212007-04-15T08:43:00.000-07:002007-04-15T08:43:00.000-07:00HIThanks for stopping by my blog.

Too much indeed. ...Oh dear Lord WHAT a funny post! Too much indeed. Our latest is lining up DVD cases at the breakfast table. Then scooping them all up and carrying them to the computer where her table is hardly sufficient for 10 DVD cases. I don't see the same ORDER so really, is it an OCD type of thing or just a gentle reminder of her future viewing choices? My other two do NOT line things up at all. And I knew what chips were. Really. Have I learned nothing from Harry Potter? You might explain treacle pudding though. Molasses?? :)<BR/><BR/>KIMKim Rossi Staglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687828526726281119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-62290940182151697492007-04-15T08:32:00.000-07:002007-04-15T08:32:00.000-07:00It's Liz from I Speak of DreamsKristina, are you t...It's Liz from <A HREF="http://lizditz.typepad.com" REL="nofollow">I Speak of Dreams</A><BR/><BR/>Kristina, are you trying to tell me that ketchup <I>isn't</I> a vegetable? (Translation: in the Reagan era, ketchup provided to low-income school children for lunch was classified as a vegetable.)<BR/><BR/>I suppose "absolutely refuses to eat" is different than "no thank you."<BR/><BR/>Hey, as chief cook for the NTG (neurotypical gang)--<I>none</I> of the male members of the NTG will eat cruciferous vegetables in any form. The male head of the NTG had a very strong preference for the same thing for breakfast 365 days of the year (coffee, Raisin Bran with milk, a chocolate chip cookie).<BR/><BR/>And the middle NTG guy, now batching it (translation = living in a studio apartment on his own) prepares the same six meals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-46555159772606684622007-04-14T22:39:00.000-07:002007-04-14T22:39:00.000-07:00Hmmm...

We used to have trouble with him only eating a few foods... but like you, we expanded our horizons... each different kind of cold sugar encrusted cereal is a different food. AND he will eat it with whole , 2%, 1% or skim milk. Which, also count. Sometimes ya just gotta get creative :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908930035466483151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-70654189739511054062007-04-14T20:12:00.000-07:002007-04-14T20:12:00.000-07:00Charlie as you know has been attempting to feast o...Charlie as you know has been attempting to feast on condiments mostly.
