School has done wonders for Tyke! He is learning so much and always repeating new facts to us. When we ask where did he learn that he always replies, "I just learned it mom!" Besides learning new things we are happy to report that Tyke is actually starting to get adventurous with his eating habits and trying new things. I completely give Mrs. Josalyn credit for this because he has only gotten brave in the eating department since starting school. Mrs. Josalyn has been able to convince him to try and like animal crackers and fruit loops. Silly, right? But he has raved about how good those treats were. And so I tried to take advantage of this and told him he should always try new things because he'll never know if he likes them or not without trying. He is still very timid about eating "new" foods and I have to cut them down to the most minuscule portion for him to try it and like and then eat more and more.
Tonight we had chicken legs and yummy potatoes for dinner. I was able to convince him to try 1/8 of an inch of potato that he actually liked but refused to eat any more. I also somehow convinced him to eat the chicken that I had pulled off of the leg for him. He ate it well and then ate more chicken off of the leg I offered him as long as I held it. I was so excited and so was Daddy! After dinner was finished Tyke asked for a slice of bread with jam on it. I don't recall him ever having that before. We were dumbfounded and took advantage of Tyke's request. Chad fixed him a slice of bread with strawberry jam and Tyke devoured it! Chad asked Tyke, "Oh my gosh, who are you?!" To which Tyke looked at him funny and replied, "I Tyke, don't you bwe-member?!" LOL
