Big steps

You may or may not know that Phoenix is an extremely picky eater.  Picky as in I have had to force feed him before.  On a daily basis.  It was horrible.  I could always get Phoenix to eat candy or Doritos, but I am pretty sure that a diet of just those two things is not considered healthy.  Phoenix has gradually added more food to his menu:  Mac n Cheese (only when it is made with at least 2% milk, the thick and creamy variety), Pizza (but usually only Little Caesars lol), and once in a while, Spaghetti.  In the last few weeks he has tried soup for the first time, and he liked it, and he also tried Cinnamon toast (he usually spits anything in the bread variety out immediately).  This may seem like no big deal to most of  you, but these two things are actually HUGE steps for Phoenix.  I think he will warm up to trying new things slowly and over time, but there is hope!!

Awesome news! Mike was terrible as a kid and didn't outgrow it until his mission so I'm always worried my kids are going to turn out like him - Kaelyn might....
