We are still working on the eating around here. Still trying to work with Parker on his tongue placement while chewing. Cause food only works it’s magic when it actually gets into a Brave Hero’s stomach.
If you know what I’m sayin’.
But there does seem to be one battle that we have won. Parker is actually wanting to eat. And not just the ‘pull up his shirt and point to his g-tube’ kind of eating either.
No, we are talking about the actual, what’s that you got there and how come I don’t have any brand of eating.
Finally.
And as I am about to prove to you, where you eat, and the ambiance contained within, also makes a difference in your dining experience.
Wouldn’t you love to do your dining in a box?
A joint where you can order your fries cut extra thick and seasoned to where even a trached kid can taste them?
Obviously, the food is literally finger lickin’ good.
It has been so exciting to watch Parker develop an actual desire for food. Before he would look at us as if we were nuts and frantically sign “NO!”
We’re getting there. The going may be slow. But the destination is sure.
And the wait is oh, so worth it.

Wooohoooo, way to go Parker, keep up the good work
YAHOO!!!!!!!
I would love to be able to fit into a box and eat french fries. Keep eating big boy.
yay parker! he is just too stinkin’ cute for words…..
I am dreaming of the day that we will be allowed to give my son food by mouth.
The last photo is great!
Seeing Parker happily eating his french fry is the most beautiful site in the world!! How wonderful he is wanting to eat!!!
What a relief for you all.
Love you Parky!!! I miss you sweetie!

That must be such a relief to you. That little angel is so cute, and I love seeing him munch on those treats!
Fries in a box! Hooray!
oh yeah, fries are SO much better when eaten in a box!
That is so sweet
woo hooo!! how exciting!!!!
Parker is so CUTE with that fry! (Not that he’s not always cute!)
Oh how awesome!!! Hoping lots of more of this will come too
. He looks adorable munching that fry

Hurrah!! We didn’t have g tube type eating problems but we DO feed Gracie in a box (we have lots of boxes that she likes to sit in). It is easier for her to grab the food. I thought we were the only ones!
And Parker–great choice of food!! Fries will serve you well!
Whooo hooooo – WTG Parker!!! You’ll be eating chicken nuggies and joining us for a lunch out – well – maybe in super soon!!! Hopefully we can picnic this summer once all the sickies are gone!!!! So happy for you!!!
