It's been a long time since we've seen you!! Welcome back. How are Abby and

Sam doing?? I can't believe they're already 8! LOL

I just wanted to say that I have observed the same behavior in .

There are some days that the food just goes down easily, and others where it

takes him 5 mins to swallow a spoonful of pureed food! On the rougher days,

it is also much harder to get him to try something new, and he has more of a

tendency to " pouch " his food.

I've always tried to make eating fun for my kids, but it doesn't seem to

make any difference with Bran. He could care less if the sandwich is in the

shape of Mickey Mouse or not!! If he's not in the " mood " to eat, he just

won't. And so far, he LOVES to help out in the kitchen, but has absolutely

refused to " taste " even ONE of the finished products!!

I also wanted to say that I only use the " skinless " smoked sausage. The

outside is not as tough to chew. The only reason I tried it was that Bran

absolutely refuses to eat hotdogs, so I thought maybe the increased spice

might help.
