Recently, we've had some progress getting Ella to eat new foods. A lot of this has just been overcoming her toddler instinct to reject any food that is unfamiliar to her, which is pretty typical at her age.
However, some of this is due to her texture aversions. Ella really doesn't like to eat bread products very much, but recently she's started eating sandwiches if they're cut up and put on a fork. Her teachers have a theory that the texture aversion is actually not liking the rough feel of bread against her lips, which is what lead them to try putting it on a fork. This weekend, I took that a bit further, and got her to eat the top of a corn muffin by breaking it up into pieces she could pick up and stuff in her mouth.
yay for new frontiers in cuisine for Ella!
