Meal Time

Many of you know from previous posts that Scott has struggled with eating.
For a few years he was eating a variety of 10 different foods everyday.
This has been hard.
Loving this kid as much as I do I just want to do right by him and that includes giving him healthy foods to eat.
Well what you see before you is a boy eating his dinner.
Not just his dinner but the same dinner that Mark and I are eating.
For the first time in a long time Scott ate the same dinner we ate.

I now remove the description of Scott having food issues and promote him to picky eater.
Sure he still prefers the food he has always enjoyed but we can get him to eat other things and even try new things.
One way we have gotten him to do this is teaching him about the dinosaurs and animals he loves and cluing him in to what they eat.
One of the ways we got him to eat the meal placed before him was telling him that aliens eat chicken.
Bet you didn't know that.
Well they do and thanks to their great example Scott eats chicken too.
And beef and green beans and pork and potatoes and so many other foods.
Miracles do happen!
