Bananas

Asher started a new food trial last week. He is currently trialing bananas. While he's happy to be eating a new food, he's not that thrilled with bananas. He's tried bananas before with last year's failed food trial. We didn't see any overt reaction then, so my thought was that it is a safe food to try. Plus, bananas is filled with wonderful potassium and other nutrients. If he passes a trial of bananas, he will have one food from every food group. Not too shabby.

He can begin a new food trial next Tuesday. Right now he chooses cauliflower. Of course he's welcome to change his mind before we begin.

We've been giving him vitamins too. Multi-vitamin, co-enzyme Q10, zinc, and carnitine. Oh, and probiotic and yeast-killer to heal the gut. I have noticed a BIG difference in his energy level since he's been taking the vitamins. It makes me wonder if he's not getting complete nutrition in his nutritionally complete elemental formula.

In other news, Simi's doing great in soccer and gymnastics. He's quite the athlete. And he beats me handily in Wii games. Harumpf!

Leila doesn't play the Wii, but she loves Go Diego Go. She picks things up very quickly. She uses the Spanish words in regular conversation and she uses them in context. For example, she'll need help with something and she'll say, Mommy, ayudame! Way to go Leily! She's also doing great with her letters. She loves doing her letters.
