This may look like JUST a bread roll to most people, but to me it signifies so much more.
Over the past few days I have been getting frustrated at my eldest and her fussiness. Tonight as she went off to gymnastics, I asked her what she wants in her lunch for tomorrow...”a jam sandwich?” I suggested. She shook her head.
This instantly rattled me a little bit if I’m honest. I held back my sigh and said “but you used to LOVE them...”She told me she eats them but isn’t “keen” on jam sandwiches anymore.
After some thought, my frustration about this sudden “fussy child” disappeared as I became elated. Why you ask?
This is the girl who once ate anything and everything when she first came to us! After not being fed properly and coping with a LOT of food issues due to this, she is finally feeling comfortable to be able to decline foods! 🤗
Don’t be mistaken, the heightened concern for food still appears multiple times a day, however this is a MaSSIVE step in the right direction.
So grateful for progress in this little life which is not by me alone … this is a journey of healing. 💖
Ps for those interested, I made her a tuna mayo one for a surprise!
