Tantrums For Food... It Works For Me

TANTRUM ALERT: This is a follow up to the "ca" (I believe veggie straws) status. Owen is on second breakfast right now. He already had waffles, applesauce and almond milk (no dairy for Owen). He asked for "mulk" but I gave him water. In three year old tantrum style, the cup comes flying over the gate into the kitchen. With that move successfully ignored by me he went on to stage two of the tantrum. He took one of his big toys and laid it down on its side. Realizing it did not make enough noise he picked it up and dropped it so I could hear it. Again, I successfully ignored this, so phase three began where he laid on the floor, rolling around, saying "ca". I tried to give him more of a breakfast bar type thing and, well, you guessed it, he didn't want it. So the cries for "ca" continued. At this point my guy has water he doesn't want and a breakfast bar he doesn't want, I was interested in how this would play out. As I stayed in the kitchen to start some coffee, I look over at the thrown sippy cup on the floor and pick it up, with that Owen says "mulk peas" and I  promptly get my boy some milk. After I give him the milk he says "ca Mooooor" and I get him some veggie straws. I would say that this was a group effort for second breakfast and I'm quite pleased.
If veggie straws are what will get Owen to ask for things I'm all for it, I bought six bags yesterday. Okay, so that may be a few bags to many but my boy is asking for things and interacting with me to get them. Albeit a little tantrum filled but he is making such progress. Seeing him all big smiles, holding his sippy cup full of mulk and eating his ca, this momma is happy! 

Small steps, big victories and huge milestones!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
