Day 4

Not much to blog about today. No throw up, no bed wetting, and only one temper tantrum. The temper tantrum happened because I pureed some butternut squash into his chicken pancake but I didn't have enough chicken to cover the taste. He didn't like the taste of it so it was a struggle getting him to eat it. I've discovered that the whole chewing thing must have something to do with taste and not texture because he was having a hard time chewing/swallowing and the only thing different with the chicken pancake was the taste. He did not get his car tonight :(

I sure do hope this gets easier because I feel like all I do is cook, eat, and go grocery shopping! We got our juicer in today. Shawn was so excited and he wanted to make apple juice so I got it cleaned and set up and we made our first juice. Of course Shawn didn't like it. I think he thought it would taste like store bought apple juice and not real apples, lol. I have several juicing books on hold at the library so hopefully, I'll be getting some good nutrition in us soon.

On a side note, I feel like I'm rushed all day. It's a struggle to get breakfast on the table with time to eat and finish getting the boys dressed. It's a struggle getting Shawn's lunch together in time to take to the school at 10:15. Then there's dinner and snacks. Sometimes I feel like just giving up but I know that this is probably the most important thing we can do for Shawn right now and I'm sure the rest of us will definitely benefit from it as well. So I'll keep trudging along.
