Our story about adoption and autism with our daughters from China, one with autism, one without.
yip yip yahoo !!!!!!
Wow! Gracie blew me away at dinnertime tonight!. At first she brought me her bottle to tell me she was hungry. I put the bottle aside and went to get a plate for food for her. Tonight's food was nutella, apple blueberry baby fruit and chocolate crumbs. Well, the little one got impatient with me because I was taking to long getting the plate together! She wanted her nutella! I sat her in her chair and she dug in. She began by putting her thumb in the nutella and then putting her thumb in her mouth!! She seemed to be doing it all by herself so I just let her do her thing. I can't count the times she put her thumb in her mouth with the nutella on it, Miss Tricia and Miss Carey Anne! She sucked it off her finger and her lips! When I thought she was done, I took the plate and her tray away. She wanted something , but I didn't know what! So I asked if she wanted the bottle and..... she PUSHED THE BOTTLE AWAY and reached for the nutella container!!! I almost fell through the floor to China!! So I sat her back down and put the nutella on her tray and she went at it. There were several times when, after putting her thumb in her mouth, she smiled ! She must have sat and played and "ate" for at least 40 minutes altogether! Finally, she wiped her hands all over her face and I took this as a sign she was tired and finished. She looked like a chocolate bunny! (See picture)
Nutella where have you been all our lives!!!!!
