I Want What You Are Having - Part 2

It has occurred to me that the food situation has turned into a bit of a frustration. Probably not for Joshua, more for me. I know if he was truly hungry, he would eat. Often, I will try to give Joshua food and he will turn his head and then talk gibberish and begin pointing. If I take the food, put it on my plate, and then feed it to him, he may eat it. If I give him a spoon and let him put the spoon in the bowl while I put a spoonful of food in his mouth, he may eat it. If I pretend the spoon is an airplane, he might eat it. You have to just keep trying things, and what worked one day might not work the next. I try hard to give him a variety of food to get his daily vitamins each day, but it is hard to get him to eat different things. So, I am happy enough if he eats.

"What do you want?" He smiles real big and points over to the area where we keep the cheerios.

Got it.
