We started giving Addy a new flavor of "tens" recently: goldfish crackers. As a result, "tens" now exclusively means "goldfish crackers." If you put puffs in front of her, she will pick them up and hand them all back to you (or try to put them back in the container).
Addy had OT on Friday as part of her feeding therapy. She got a great report from the therapist, so we're supposed to keep on working on introducing new textures and flavors--the weirder, lumpier, and crunchier, the better. The therapist thinks that Addy's biggest hurdle right now is a weak chew, which is a little strange because she can be an absolute bull dog when she's chewing on her socks (it's really gross and stretches out her socks really bad; she takes her them off when we change her diaper, stuffs them in her mouth, clamps down, and pulls on the end of the sock like a tug-of-war dog toy). For some reason she doesn't want to do the same with her food; must be the repeated motion as opposed to the single-action clamp-down. So to help with that, the therapist recommended wrapping dried fruit roll around the end of the nubby teething stick and giving it to Addy to chew on so that she'll associate chewing and eating. Addy seems to like it, though I'm not sure it's working quite the way the therapist intended:
Since it's been a while since I've done a silly craft project, it's time to think about a new one. I'm still pondering the color scheme, but this pattern (link) is my top pick for an Easter dress for Addy.
