Hailey hasn’t been doing purees for a while, but I really wanted to try the feeding therapy techniques that were posted, so I broke out the old bowl and spoon again (for the last time, I think). I felt odd about it, but pushed the first bite a bit. She got upset and started fussing.. whining, screaming a bit. I started to cheer etc, but she still kept fussing. Then I went for the second bite, she hit the spoon away. I tried everything, but she just kept hitting it away. Then from across the table Sarah pipes up and says, “Mummy Hailey doesn’t want it”. But I thought I’d try one more time, tried to get her to take it, and she just got really mad and started yelling. Then Sarah piped up again, this time more harshly and loudly and said “Mummy, stop it! Listen to Hailey, she’s saying no thank you”. I was in awe… Gosh these kids are so smart.
