It is so exciting for kids (and adults) when they learn how to do something new. Today, Jacob requested that he make his own sandwich. I got all the supplies out for him and off he went! He loves any inch of new independence he can acquire.
I love how exciting small things are for him. I love how simple this sandwich is, turkey, white butter (mayo) & bread, yet it is "so good" to this former picky eater. I love that he is trying new things to eat and enjoying them. At one point in his life, his daily menu consisted of oatmeal, yogurt, peanut butter & jelly sandwich, chicken nuggets and fruit. He wouldn't eat normal kid things like macaroni 'n cheese, pizza, spaghetti..I was a little concerned about his diet and when he would break away from his five foods and try new things. Thanks to a little bit of forcing and a little bit of curiosity on his part, he is broadening his palate and that is exciting for me!!
