I was so proud of myself for getting Samantha to eat from a plate with 3 or 4 different foods on it, but it didn't last. She's been fighting us at mealtime ever since, and she almost never eats her vegetables. I caved and bought a couple of those plates with sections. We tried one tonight and she ate some of everything. She even ate spinach!
It's not that she doesn't like her different foods touching each other - even on the regular plate there was plenty of room to keep the foods separated. She loves to dip and mix things. She dips fish sticks in milk and puts peas in her cereal, ok? She just seems to like defined little areas for each thing. It's like her mind goes into overdrive with all those things in one container. PROCESSING....PROCESSING...TOO MUCH INPUT...DOES NOT COMPUTE.
I guess that's why those sectioned plates exist. I never paid any attention to them. I suppose I'll be buying a minivan soon too.
