Three French Fries

That's what Jack ate this morning. It may not sound like anything amazing to you but to Steve and I, it was wonderful. Granted, it took a WHOLE lot of ketchup but he did it on his own. No one was pushing him to try one, he just grabbed one, dipped it in ketchup and took a very small bite. All in all it took him about 20 minutes to eat 3 small French fries but I'm not complaining! It's little things like this that give me hope that the program at KKI will help him. He knows how to eat, he just doesn't. It's entirely behavioral. And little breakthroughs like the one today reassure me that one day he'll be a "normal" kid at a lunch table in elementary school, eating what I packed for him and talking to his friends. 

Sorry, I just needed to brag today.

  1. That must have been so exciting, to sit and watch him test out those bites! You two are excellent parents because you're doing everything you can to get Jack the assistance he needs right now. <3
