I canNOT believe it! Today while at lunch at Johnny Carinos, David got Nathan to actually consume (without much of a fight) lettuce greens, spinach, and a bite of raw carrot. We both had salads before our meals and when I saw david reach over and put a piece of Cesar salad onto Nathan’s plate I was like “yeah, right!” But Nathan actually ATE it!!! I immediately grabbed a carrot stick off of my house salad and handed it over to David without saying a word. He knew what I wanted him to do with it. He looked at me and replied, “yeah, right!” rather softly and under his breath, but he tried anyway. To our surprise, Nathan did manage to take a small bite out of it.

When our entrees finally arrived I grabbed a few pieces of the spinach from my stuffed tortellini dish (which was to DIE FOR) and gave them over to David to feed to Nathan along with his fettucine alfredo. We explained to Nathan that the spinach had some cheese mixed into it and that it would taste yummy with his fettucine. He took the bait. He continued to eat his pasta taking intermittent bites of spinach mixed it. It was great!! I now have another great meal idea to add to my list of things that Nathan will actually eat!
