Oatmeal

Starting mushies today! What is a mushie you ask? A mushie is a kind of food that will squish up through the prongs of a fork when you "mush" it =) Such foods include bananas, mashed potatoes, very softly cooked vegetables, finely chopped tuna and canned chicken, some fish, oatmeal, yogurt, etc.

Breakfast today is PeachesNCream oatmeal. I've had 4 bites!! The hardest part is taking SMALL bites and not immediately putting another small bite in my mouth with the first one. There's not a lot of chewing needed, so the second hardest thing is remembering that even though it's soft, it could be softer! I swallowed a little too quickly and could feel it squeezing through the funnel... not pleasant. But oatmeal is sooo much better than cream of chicken and tomato soups!!! Slow and steady - gonna be a good day!
