We've got a LONG way to go!

Jared is still not eating anything. And I mean nothing! Not even a hair, a piece of grass, a grain of rice, nothing. How do we know? By the screams of pure panic that come from his mouth when said object is in it! He seriously freaks out when there is even a speck of something in his mouth. Tonight it was a hair. It took me a while to even see the hair that was the cause of such turmoil but even after it was found it was no easy task trying to remove it. Between screaming, gagging, and the inability to stick his tongue out very far, it is very difficult to remedy the problem and there is no fooling him. No sir-ee, he can't be fooled by a wipe of the mouth and an "all better". He knows if even the smallest of hair is still hiding in that mouth of his.

Will this kid ever want to eat? He mimics the kids and tells me that he is hungry several times a day. I offer him food and he answers "NO, I Don't Like It!" (this is still his favorite phrase). He pretends to cook dinner for us. He takes our orders and serves us. He is quite the good little waiter. Can you be a cook if you have never tasted the food that you prepare? :) Maybe he'll be able to just tell by the smell if it is good! It is nice not having to always find things for him to eat. Tyler and Alyssa are so hard to please when it comes to food. At least I don't have to worry about that with Jared. All I do is pull out a can and a tube and he is set!

We've got a LONG, LONG, LONG way to go!
