A knuckle bump for Jaycee!

A couple of posts ago I talked about how we are working on Jaycee's variety in the food department. Its not coming along as fast as I would have hoped, but we are making progress. She loves bean and cheese burritos now. Even though she isn't aware that the cheese is in there. Her new favorite is Chicken Fried Steak. Tyson Foods actually makes these so we get to enjoy them a lot more. I can make them but I hate the mess that it makes to do it! Yesterday, she wouldn't touch them so she went from breakfast at 7:30 a.m. til 6:00 p.m. with nothing. She actually ate a bean burrito last night b/c we had gone to church. Today for lunch, she was given the chicken fried steak again. At first she was protesting them. We don't try to force her in to eating them, we just let her know that these will be presented at every meal or anytime she asks for something until they are gone. So I finally said would you like for mom to give you a very small bite? (Thanks Nana for that hint.) She said sure. She chewed for a few seconds and she said Hey I really do like these. These are yummy. She cleaned her plate. WOOHOO! So we are progressing! With the encouragement of our family and Dr. James Dobson (Dare to Discipline book) we hope in another week or so she will have the understanding she will eat what we put in front of her and that there won't be a discussion about it! Thankfully, we won't have to go down this road with Jackson!

Oh, after Jaycee ate her lunch, Byron taught her to knuckle bump, let it explode, and let it rain down! I need to learn how to upload videos so I can post them. I think most would understand my explanation, but its pretty cute to see her do it!
