Nov 24 - Erynn's Thanksgiving Menu

Eating >> (very small amounts, not going for volume at this time) Go-gurt Yogurt (preferably pink, but purple will do) Creamy Peanut Butter on a Pretzel ( serve with plain pretzels also) Yoplait Thick and Creamy Vanilla Yogurt (tastes like cheesecake) Ice Cubes (small and crushed) Ice cream Turkey Cheese Soup Chewing or Savoring >> (then spitting, very messy) "Elmo Bear Snacks" Mini Teddy Grahams "Elmo Box Snacks" Strawberry Yogurt Burst Cheerios Apple slices (bring a star cookie cutter and be prepared to sing twinkle) Cheetos "Triangles" Doritos French fries Chicken Nuggets Chocolate Chocolate Donuts or Cake Starburst (strawberry) Drinking >> Water (by spoon and full open cup) Ice Water (by spoon and full open cup) just a heads up to people eating with or seeing erynn eat . . . > please don't call her messy or use the mess word - she doesn't like messes and will stop "fooding" because of the mess. > be prepared for flying or spitting food. don't wear light colors or fancy stuff if you are sitting by erynn > please be positive and complimentary, but don't but her on stage, she has major stage-fright issues. > the best way for erynn to try new foods or eating skills, is to see you do it happily and then slowly and then again and again. leslie. p.s. this is the first time we've been able to put together the news. it only started like this last week. p.p.s. the hurling is under control again. she only gags to protect herself and only a little bit and not so often.

I'm thankful Erynn is learning to eat. I'm sure you are, too.
