Some Things Just Go Together Like Shaving Cream and Grilled Chicken

So as a part of Isaiah's sensory development to help him with his SPD this therapists are always giving me homework assignments to do with him i.e.: making buckets of dry beans and putting little toys in them for Isaiah to find, letting Isaiah play in yogurt on the kitchen table, letting Isaiah play in shaving cream, or play dough.  I recently mentioned to Isaiah's OT that he has never eaten plain meat such as a burger patty, grilled or baked chicken...etc.  They suggested me using sensory exercises at home to help him with this issue.  I was not sure how saving cream was supposed to make my picky toddler eat baked chicken but I decided to give it a try.  Last night I grilled myself chicken for dinner with black beans on the side and for Isaiah I let him have a few leftover fries, some cheese, and some fruit (I know all star mom here...such a healthy meal for my son).  He was sitting on our bench seat with me.  He looked down at his plate, and then looked over at mine.  He got up, walked over to my plate, took the my entire chicken breast off my plate and started eating it!  I was so amazed.  Mark was too when I told him late last night.  Hmm..maybe there really is something to all this!
