I wrote these posts last year regarding Thanksgiving and my son's limited food preferences.
GFCF & Gluten Free Thanksgiving Tips, Menus, and R...
On Thanksgiving, and my now GFCF child
So, last year - my son had a thanksgiving meal that was separate from the rest of the family. I didn't jump thru hoops or cook separately. We made him food he'd like and served him that and we ate our regular thanksgiving.
A year later and we are entering Thanksgiving in a whole new place. Alex is still gluten and casein free - but he has expanded his food repertoire and has become very receptive to trying new food out. Whereas he used to only like chicken if it was in a nugget or strip type form, now he'll eat it any old way - on the bone, drumstick, breast, grilled, what have you. I predict that he will eat a turkey drumstick this year and if not he will definitely try some turkey breast. The last time he did this he was just 1 year old - pre-autism diagnosis or regression.
Now here we are at 9 years old and I approach Thanksgiving filled with hope, and much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my son who has made a lot of progress this past year and who has given me so much to appreciate about life.
