After not eating a single bite of food since June and getting great reports from the doc in October, Sy has been given the go ahead to start food trials. After working with his allergist and getting some input from Sy himself, he got his first taste of food in the form of.... SWEET POTATOES!!
We sure had a lot of fun making the first batch and watching Sy get so excited. Of course, he had to take a quick sniff, but this time, he was actually able to take a huge bite! All we got during the meal was BIG smiles. He has to eat them completely plain (no spices, oil or butter) so we have to get a little creative. Thinly sliced, baked, cut into fries, etc... Let us know if you think of other fun ways.
Sy will get to try sweet potatoes for a few weeks while we monitor him. As long as everything seems ok, we'll introduce another food soon. Wonder what our little man will choose next? :)
oh my goodness so cute~ :-) yay for sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeletewow--that is SO the best food he could choose! i LOVE sweet potatoes, SySy!!
ReplyDeletei am so amazed at his sweet smile after all he's been through! praise jesus for joy and restoration!
Cut them into dollars, and use cookie cutters on them! Bake those pieces, and boil the leftovers for potato mash :)
