Clayton's O.T. has figured out how to use his love of home movies to motivate him. She videoed him today as he went through his feeding therapy. He is very into watching himself on the screen, so he got to do so on the phone's screen while it was actually taping him, and then again when she played it back for him.
It is in absolute miracle how far he has come. This is the child who at one year old would nearly gag at the sight of others eating soft foods like the yogurt he licks on here. His oral aversion was so severe, he couldn't even stand to have his own hands near his mouth. What an answer to prayer to see him touching foods to his tongue! He has come so far--I'm hoping at this rate, he'll be able to eat a bite or two of cake on his sixteenth birthday!

I just love him to pieces! He is such a polite boy too..saying thank you to his OT. And wanting so much to show you the video after. awww He melts my heart Ashley.
Ashley he is ridiculous! I love this video! Amazing. God is so amazing! WWWWWOOOOOOOTTTT! YAY Clayton! It's hard for us to fathom having an aversion to anything oral. But to actually not only lick the yogurt but get more then just a taste of it because of the consistency is plain awesome! Were the other foods he was trying fruits? and a sweet potato maybe? Just curious...what did he think of the tastes, did he like them?
This video just brightened my whole day. I love how he says it is on my chin and thanks her for wiping it off. What a sweetpea. Another proud Mama moment and love you share them with us.
I loved his thank you too! What a sweetie pie. But, it really melted my heart when he wanted to share the clip with his Mama. What a great kid!!! He is amazing! God is so awesome!!! Thanks for sharing this.
