Like a Bear

Many of you know (at least to some extent) of John's difficult eating. For the last two weeks, we've been trying a new approach at home and having good success. (I plan to write a blog post about it after we've made some more solid progress.) In the meanwhile, I've really sensed John gaining a lot of confidence as he manages to try new foods and not perish or even throw up.

Today he was eating afternoon snack and spontaneously said to me with confidence, "Mama, I'm a good eater. Like a bear. Bears are good eaters."

    It's old-fashioned advice! We've softened it a little for John. I'll write it up more fully in the future.
