I know I have mentioned that Little Prince's diet is limited. Honestly since our move, his diet has been mostly limited to peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches and chocolate milk. I have been working with him to at least get the foods he used to eat back into his food repertoire. Now I know that even there we have limits. He needs things to be of a bread-like texture and they need to seem familiar. And I have found that I can slip things in if I am creative. If I break his chicken nuggets in half he will sometimes eat one or two. And if I cut waffles in quarters and them pile them up so that they look like sandwiches, he will occasionally eat half a waffle. That is only a little bit, but it is two more foods that I can sometimes get him to eat.
TWO WHOLE foods that he used to eat and will sometimes eat again now! To me that is a breakthrough.
