Okay, so Angelina has been doing really well with her Speech Therapy and tolerating food lately! So this evening we were having chicken alfredo and I decided Angelina needed to have some as well - the sauce anyway. I mashed up some of the noodles with the sauce and she really took it well. There were so many bits in her mouth but no gagging or getting choked up. She really does like Mama's alfredo sauce! The best thing about all this is that she is engaging the food by leaning forward to "get" some or helps with her sippy cup by putting her hand on it and pulling it forward. After all the alfredo I decided she needed a desert as a treat for all her hard work - Swiss Miss swirl chocolate pudding! All I did was open it at first and set the cup in front of her. She started putting her hands in it and when she did I would just dunk them down farther so more of her hand would be covered in the pudding. She tasted some off of her hands and I was putting globs in her mouth. Again, no gagging or choking up! She had a good time with it as you can tell!
