I am really happy at the moment!
J finally has accepted peas AND carrots as part of his meal!!!!!
The school have been working on him at lunch time (he has a packed lunch from home) by introducing these foods every day. It was'nt working at all until a new dinner lady took over and told him/showed him " you eat these and you can have this" (usually his breadsticks or twiglets). Amazingly it worked and I was having notes left in the home-school book telling me had had tried peas, carrots and sweetcorn (he really hated that though but he still tried it).
Unfortunately it did not work the same at home! He refused point blank and would scream and cry.
This had been going on for over a year before the new lady stepped in, and then it only took a few months for him to do the same at home.
That is until the other day. He had the same meal as his brothers and the same routine of having peas on his plate. But this time, instead of tipping them on the floor he ate them! And then he was saying "peas, peas, peas" and trying to take them off of his brothers plates!!
I gave him some more and he ate them all.
And then......
He asked for "cawwots" and his hand hovered over their plates trying to take them off to eat!
I gave him some and he ate them all!!
Since then he has requested them each meal time (not breakfast though!) and eats them all up!
I know I have used lots of exclaimation marks in this post but I think it is only right!
After all this is the first time in his life he has not only asked for, but eaten vegetables!
A breakthrough at last!
