Momentous

Today, Hayden (a.k.a. the pickiest eater west of the Alamo) ate strawberries! This is a huge deal because it is one more food I can add to his diet (if you can call it that). I don't know how, but the boy is sustained by:

plain pasta
cheese
grilled cheese sandwiches
plain cheese sandwiches
plain bread
cheerios with rice milk
pancakes
toast with cream cheese
rice
french fries (baked ones)with ketchup
soy "chik-patties" (cut up into strips to look like french fries with ketchup)
grapes
bananas
mandarin oranges, peaches, and pears (only out of individually packaged plastic tubs - will not eat freshly diced fruit)
crackers
pretzels
granola bars
spaghettios
sometimes vegetable soup
popcorn

...and now strawberries!

I have offered him strawberries too many times to count. Usually, he just refuses because they look weird. But, today he ate them all - like four or five! Next week, we move on to kiwi fruit.
