K is for......

We cheated a little today and did 2 letters instead of one. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. It was one of those days where I needed to stick home close to the phone waiting on a call so we had to keep busy somehow right?
So K it was! Not an easy letter to find fun foods that they might actually try so we just did the best we could. Still started with finding the letters on the fridge and doing wipe-off/paper book work which they do actually enjoy more than I thought they would. Mew was still more into erasing today than writing but no biggie.

Kiwi was the main 'new' food today. We talked about how it looked and felt before we cut into it, and how it looked and felt after I cut it in half. Jocie was not fond of it being 'wet' but was a good sport and did still touch some once I cut it up and put some on her plate. No one was going to try it though, after all, it was green. HA HA

We then moved onto Kabobs (yeah stretching a little here but it worked). I cut up several different types of fruit that we had on hand- the kiwi, apple, watermelon and grapes(left those whole). I put the chunks on a plate on the table and handed them each a wooden skewer. I showed them how to carefully stick an apple chunk on and told them they could do them any way they chose. I was not surprised that they both stuck to a pattern using each fruit- Jocie using each once and Mew using each twice and then finishing with another piece of apple.

As soon as Jocie finished, she held it up to her mouth and actually licked each piece at least once. She went back and licked the watermelon again a few times. She did not want to eat any of it, but did enjoy the taste she said.

Mew went right to the apple chunks. It took him a few minutes to figure out how to bite them off of the stick, but as soon as he got the hang of it, the chunks started to disappear. He then wanted to get the grapes off and squeeze the juice out of them. He did this by using his mouth to move each piece of watermelon and kiwi off of the end of the stick. He seemed to like the watermelon but made a face when he had his mouth on the kiwi, but he stuck with it until they were off. I really think if we make these more often, it won't take Mew much time before he is eating the watermelon and grapes as well as he did the apples. He really seemed to enjoy himself with these!

No sooner did Jocie finish hers, she was asking me what letter we would do tomorrow HA HA. I asked her if she could figure it out herself, and she did.... not sure if we will do all of L tomorrow, but at least some of it. Busier day for us on Tuesdays so we have less time.
