I'm so glad you were able to find something that would maybe help jump start her wanting to eat meat. Can I just tell you that my Carly has just started eating meat in the last year or so. She is going to be 10 in May. I can't say I ever even pushed the meat thing either. I figure she would eat grilled chicken and she didn't really need the red meat. Caleb doesn't really like meat yet either. He'll eat an occassional hot dog and some bologna but that's it. I'm glad the after school thing seems to be working out. I know you have to be very happy about that. So, you are the grinch?? I loved her drawing. She looks too cute in her jammies too!!

I'm so behind but wanted to respond!! It's not meat specifically, it's textures. She'll eat a hot dog but not a meaty texture, even ground stuff. Or it might be the color, I don't know... but the good news is that she had that chicken. None since, but we're working on it! Oh, and it's PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) not PPD (post partum depression), LOL!!!! I'm not ready for THAT outta her! LOlOLOLOL!
After school is ok, but not all that I had hoped. But it certainly should help out. I think we're spoiled because her school is AMAZING that she attends in the morning. And I am the grinch, sad but true. I only started liking Christmas when she was born.
And the more I look back, the more characteristics I notice that I had as a child for PPD. So I'm not that worried in the end, but will do whatever I can to help her. I turned out a complete wack job, lol, but I function really well in the world, I think. I do get a lot of anxiety around people when I'm not on stage! But I have learned how to handle that, and put myself in those positions a lot just to deal with it. Otherwise I'd have to get a day job... though I've done that and it's worse for me, lol!
