Trying something new!
When it comes to Owen and Food, trying something new does not exist. But sometimes for a split second he will try something and even like it. This is very rare! Almost too rare! Well today he really didn't have a choice. Now I would not consider this trying anything new, but for Owen it is. Lunch time is ALWAYS peanut butter and jelly sandwich with applesauce. Well For some odd reason I don't have any bread.. And I am in no mood to go to the grocery store right now. So I had to get creative. We made peanut and butter tortias. I got the crying and the stomping from Owen, but he really didn't have a choice. So I made it. Logan and I ate them. Owen was just crying. he told me that he licked the outside of the shell and he didnt' like it. I told him that if he took a bite of the whole thing it would be better. So he did. He then cleaned his plate. I was in shock. He told me that it was different then bread. I told him that he was right and that when I tell him things taste good he should trust me a little more and at least try them. I highly doubt that went anywhere but Yeah for Owen for trying something new!!!

You don't suppose he gets this fussiness from his Daddy, do you? LOL!! Maybe you can try scrambled eggs in tortilla next - yum!
Yes, but no. Owen has some sensory issues, and I think that is where a LOT of his picky eating comes from. Eggs would never fly with either of my kids. I wish they did eat them!
Good for Owen! Does he like peanut butter on crackers? Have you ever tried an electric toothbrush for him to try desensitise his sensory issue? They have those musical ones at Walmart-we got one for Chase at Christmas. It might help with him trying more foods. But, in the meantime-great job, Owen!
