Things are definatly improving. Zantac?? Maybe! He is sleeping a bit better at night, and not coughing in the morning~nice! I hope that he can sleep more soundly w/ less gaging, though I know we haven't reached the full effects of the zantac yet.
Eating is going well. We had one huge tantrum today, but I think I handled it well. Breakfast was almost 1 packet of oatmeal- which is really a lot for little man. Lumch was spaghetti o's (I didn't make him eat unfavorable bites for either meal, but I did chose what he was eating and he ate it). After the spaghetti o's I offered a banana and he wanted it. There was maybe 3 bites left and he got upset about something- I think he was arguing with his sister and I told them to stop and he got upset. So he said the whole "my tummy's full!" and threw a huge fit for a good 10+ minutes. I tried my hardest to ignore him and once he calmed down he wanted me to 'touch his tummy' to prove he was full. I touched his tummy and told him that I though that there was a little bit of room left in there for a few bites of banana. He then finished the banana-YAY, this is HUGE, no gaging or retching, he just did it!! Praise praise praise :) He got to get a sticker out of the sticker bucket and he was very pleased.
He had some snacks at Grandma's house, and then for dinner we went out to Chinese. I wasn't sure if I was going to challenge him or not since we were at a restaurant and didnt want a scene... I told him before our food came out that he would be eating his 2 bites of whateven Mommy choses and he said OK MOMMY! Food came and he ate 2 bites of fried rice~normally something he would NOT eat, TWO BITES with NO COMPLAINING! He they got to eat his noodles ( they have this yummy chicken and noodle bowl and he loves the soup and noodles) and had like 4 helpings!!!!
I am going to take things slow, we are doing well with the 2 bites and I do not plan on increasing the # of bites soon, but I will slowly increase the bite sizes and what the bite is. Right now I'm not going to extreme about what is 'non prefered' bite is, but I am challenging him a bit, we'll slowly get more daring.
