Liz: I got tears in my eyes when I saw this, it is just amazing!

I read your post, and I feel your anguish, I know you miss Corrinne immensely, and I know your heartache. It's not fair to have to go through this, and I often struggle with my wn grief- you are not alone!

I am sorry that Miss K is behind, but I am so encouraged by her progress on all fronts. I am so happy that you were finally able to hear her sweet voice, and that she is also communicating through signs as well.

I am sending lots of hugs your way, hang in there!

Holy cow, Liz, that's AMAZING! She's totally casual about it... "Yeah, I guess I'll eat these pears... what's the big deal, mom?" :^D

Also, I adore the four little ponytails.

Add me to the list of people who got teary watching this. What a wonderful development for Kaitlyn!

Ava was watching the video over my shoulder, doing the sign for "eat" and saying "more." Pretty cool to have those words aimed at Katie!

YAHOOOO! And me too with the tears of happiness.

One thing I learnt in our OT with the aversions was, they will eat when they are hungry. I know its hard when you want to have a schedule, but if you can put it off a bit every day to ensure her hunger, I wager in no time she will be doing more and more of this. Besides, she's a smarty pants, she will get it figured out, especially if it tastes good. :-)
