Cool Sara - not my style of doing things but I understand her and her therapists reasoning and think it could definitely be good for certain kids. We're plodding along here for now - I tend to get a bit stricter about things after 2 or 2.5 when they can understand a little better...

Breakfast is looking like a couple strawberries (but normally would inhale as many as I give him) and maybe half a toasted whole grain mini bagel with butter.

Both of her boys have severe sensory processing issues (elder is autistic and sensory avoiding; the younger is too young to be diagnosed yet, but is very much a sensory seeker).  I think that's an important caveat to her list...I'm not sure how much I can follow it exactly bc I can't afford to throw away that much food.  But, I'm thinking of how I can modify it.

Yea she had mentioned special needs kids so that totally makes sense and I'm glad it worked for her! With most kids otherwise I think just keep offering and don't make special meals, etc - we can chat about what worked with DD offline (she was WAY picky until 2-2.5 and now is an awesome eater).

Hopefully my boy eats his lunch today since he had very little breakfast - warming up a homemade turkey patty for him now (I make them with a bit of applesauce and nice amount of chopped spinach and carrots). He normally loves them.

The rest of the day was pretty boring but I discovered that C likes wasabi peas! I only give him the half ones that are broken in case he chokes. He helped himself to one from a bowl on the coffee table. He pulls a funny face then asks for more. So funny. DH doesn't even like them and he's into hot chillies!
