Hooray for Jaycee!

Here is an eating update on Jaycee. Monday night I had made corn dogs. Yes, corn dogs. I know that many of you out there are like kids and corn dogs go hand and hand. Well, Jaycee refused them. Once again we did the long drawn out process her not eating. Tuesday, she did eat some dry heart to heart cereal, but not much. I wouldn't let her have anything else. At lunch, we presented the corn dogs once again. She is one tough cookie and didn't cave at all. We had to make a trip to Duncan that evening. Byron took us through a drive-thru and we sat in the parking lot of Wal-Mart to eat. Jaycee was really excited until she realized that I brought the corn dog with us. After a little coaxing and a promised milkshake, she gave in. She ate the corn dog. Guess what, loves them now! Crazy girl! I was very thankful b/c going to Wal-Mart with a child that has an empty stomach just really doesn't go over well. After we were done she got her oreo milkshake. She finished the entire milkshake.

The greatest news is that today for lunch I made a casserole. It had taco meat, refried beans, tots, cream of cheddar cheese soup, and grated cheese. She sat down didn't say a word and ate! YAY! Byron and I were so proud of her. She is getting there. I really hope in about another week we will be doing great with it! When we all got sick around here, we backed off. None of us really wanted to eat so we made do and I did the easy stuff the kids really like to eat. I think if we stay consisted with it then her "routine" will change and she will accept it. So Hooray for our Jaycee!
