So spicy it hurts

On Wednesday, Mommy and I had a busy day for sure. We met Miss Jessie for some lunch since she came to our town for a quick visit. We went to a new place that has food like our favorite Toro from home. It had some good salsa for sure.

Mommy gave me a taste and I liked it. She didn't even try it first because she was busy. Then she gave me some more, and I thought it was good. While Mommy was looking at the menu and we were waiting for Miss Jessie to come, I had a little more. Then Mommy tasted it too, and she said "Wooooo! That's hot!" She looked at me all surprised that I liked the spicy food, and she saw that I looked a little funny. My mouth was feeling all tingly and my eyes were leaking a little water. See?


See the water coming out from my eye? And my mouth was all moving around trying to stop the tingly?
Mommy gave me some cold waters, and it was nice in my mouth. She said she was sorry that she gave me the hot stuff, but I liked it alot, so it was ok. I even had more after I had some water! But just little bits...

Then we went to see Miss Stephanie so she could try to get me to eat some more. Mommy didn't get to go with us to the room this time, so she waited. I worked with Miss Stephanie and even ate some pudding for her. Mommy says she's gonna have to figure out how to watch so she can see what Miss Stephanie does to get me to eat.

    Braska, I am the same way! I love spicy food. Even when it makes my eyes water I still love to eat it. Glad to hear your eating more.

    Georgia seems to like HIGH FLAVOR food...I wonder if that's something? She didn't love love hot mustard, but she loves Indian food, chili, pickles, citrus. I've been told it might be because of low tone that she finds the tastier foods more exciting.

    You weren't kidding about those tears. I've heard of people mixing hot sauce into bland foods like mashed potatoes. Maybe that's your hook?

    That's funny! Poor Braska. Those spicy foods are tricky. I think Tricia might be on to something with the flavor, though. Abby likes some spicy stuff too.

    I've heard that hot/spicy food is good for kids - gets their mouths working. Glad to hear even though it made her eyes water, she went back for more! :)

    Abbey loves spicy foods. I remember Abbey's speech therapist telling us premature babies like spicy foods. I have also talked too many DS parents and they have said their child loves spicy foods. This could help her eat more.

    That was so funny! Sorry Braska to see those tears but you got me laughing!

    I can remember one of Tommy's feeding therapist mixed Taco Bell hot sauce packets with canned pears and he did enjoy it.

    Hope your momma's belly is feeling okay with your little sister or brother. We are so excited about that news.

    Take care and keep up that WONDERFUL progress on feeding. I can't say enough about "when you are ready, you'll be ready". All the coaxing in the world will hardly budge the fact that it happens when God provides for our skills to be there. And then one day, boom, Tommy liked to eat. So will you :)

    I was told spicy food is good for kiddos with low tone. Wakes up the taste buds and promotes eating and speech. That's what I was told by T's ST. T loves spicy stuff he eats alot of Peanut sauce and salsa. He handles spicier stuff way better than C can

A good fashion statement

I’ve heard people talk about a fa-shun stayt-munt .  Mommy told me how to spell it right so you would know what I mean…fashion statement.  Have you heard about this?  I’m not sure, but I think it’s when you put on pretty clothes and then tell someone something.  And I have something to tell you!! So here’s the pretty clothes… these were our Sunday pictures from yesterday.  Daddy took them while Mommy was getting ready for church. Me and KiKi were playing and we didn’t stand still to do good Sunday pictures.  But Daddy sneaked in some good ones. And now, here’s what I’ve got to tell you….. To celebrate my new pretty blog that we worked really hard on, me and Mommy are going to be giving some fun things away to somebody who likes to read our stories!  Do you like to get stuff for just reading my stories? And here’s how you can get stuff… You’re going to like it!  And there’s more than one thing!  1. Leave a comment on THIS POST TODAY (Monday) for an “early entry.”  (That mea

Blue is cool!

I found a new fun show this week. There's lots of singing and dancing, and I like to do both those things! It's got a little dog in it named Blue. And he leaves clues for his friends to find. I like to scoot up close to the TV, so Mommy puts me on my little stool that I use for stand and sit practice. That way I stay in one place. Tonight's show was really fun and I got all excited! ( Mommy note: Remember, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. The look on that little face is worth it! :o)
