An Apple a day.......

This is video of Kevin eating an apple. Not a big deal to most people! Let me tell you a little secret... Kevin has NEVER EVER, had a full bite of fruit or vegetables. He is almost 4 years old, and has struggled with eating issues his whole life. Luckily, in the last couple months, we can coerce him to take 3 peas or 3 kernels of corn, although not bites. One of us always needs to hold his jaw shut to accomplish getting it down the hatch. The holding jaw thing isn't something he hates. He actually takes my hand to his chin for me to hold it shut. It is the only way he can get it down.

Soooo, today was literally the first time he has EVER taken a bite of fruit, and he did it by stealing the apple from his big sister. A big day in this house! Hopefully one day soon we can get him to eat fresh meats, and hopefully many more fruits and veggies.

Hooray! He looks so cute eating that apple. I don't have sound on my computer at work but enjoyed the video just the same.
