Tricks of the Trade

James has had a rough time with his diet lately.  His upset tummy was causing issues when it came to oral feeding.  So, other than changing his diet again (which is definitely getting him back on track), we had to get creative.  His speech therapist suggested letting him chomp on a large carrot stick.  So...

He loved it!  After letting him play with that for awhile I broke out a jar of baby carrots (a new food for him) to see if the taste recognition would make him more comfortable with the food.  It worked!  He ate more than he had in several days.  Although, Mark came home and took over feeding him and he ate a lot more, so I'm not sure which was more effective, an interesting taste or a funny daddy.  :D  As long as he is eating, I don't care what makes the difference!

Good buds!  And look at James lift those legs!  Great stomach workout!
