Nope, Not Going to Happen

We’ve still been having a hard time getting Troy to eat “adult” food. We’ve tried with all kinds of foods with the same result, He’ll pick at a little, and then he seems to get bored of it. Or he’s distracted by other things. We’re not really sure, but either way, he’ll stop eating after a few skimpy bites.

We noticed that Troy will eat more “adult” food if we place the food in front of him and then ignore him. If watch him or engage him in any way; then he will just play with it, throw it on the floor, or complain and try to get out of the chair. Yesterday, we put him at the table with his food first. While we were still getting our food together, we glanced over to see him happily eating his food. Today, we sat with him, but ignored him. He again was eating away. But as soon as we looked at him or talked to him, he stopped and threw the food on the floor.
