All I can say is Naomi is a rock star! She did a great job at all her mealtimes, even when it was challenging. She was not a fan of the vanilla flavor of Carnation Instant Breakfast but still drank 80ml (a little over 2 ounces for us Americans) so she didn't quite meet her fluid goal for breakfast but exceeded the solid goal but she more than met her goals for fluids for morning snack and lunch and barely met them for afternoon snack with a lot of hard work. She hung out in the play room this morning and played air hockey with another little girl here. They have a date for tomorrow morning. She rocked through 4 pages of her school work and made sure I wrote down all the books we read. We had a big meltdown right before dinner when she wanted to go to the park and I told her we could go to the Courtyard. She eagerly walked down there with me but burst into tears when there was only grass and picnic tables. The fountain in front of St. Joseph's Hospital next door helped a bit with the tears but she still sulked her way back up into the room. Dinner was slow to start but with discovering the positive reinforcement of if she ate a certain amount I would make a movie of her, she reluctantly agreed to eat half a taco (which had an offensive flour tortilla rather than corn). She is now down wooing all the teenage vollunteers in the play room. She's the only kid in there and is loving all the attention. Hopefully we keep this amazing pace up but everyone on the team says that in a few days we will see some resistance, we're simply on the honeymoon. Hopefully tonight she falls asleep sooner and tomorrow is another good day. Thanks for checking in on Naomi and I.
