Meal times have been a constant challenge for us with Elissa. She is extremely picky and refused to try new foods that fell outside of her comfort zone of crackers, applesauce, and mac ‘n cheese. After a long time of working with her more from the obedience angle, she’s doing MUCH better. The other night after dinner, I brought out little bowls of JELLO chocolate mousse that I had made. She was very hesitant to try it, to the point that I pretty much had to force her to taste it. I was just sure that once she tasted it, she’d really enjoy it and I didn’t want her to miss out on the fun of the night’s special treat. She took her forced bite, and then quickly smudged up her nose and said, I don’t like it. I don’t want any more. I looked at Jason with a can-you-believe-she’s-really-ours sort of look and said to her, Where did you come from? Without a second’s hesitation, she replied very matter-of-factly, God. She was allowed to pick a new treat. :)
