Yeah so, this was a disaster but in a sorta good way. I mean, it didn’t go well for Yaya; as in she got hysterical. No real big news there. Oh and she managed to pee all over me but not get her skirt wet…what’s up with that?! The long and the short of it is that apparently it is a much bigger deal than I thought about Yaya only being on a bottle. I mean I know it is a problem and we have a long road ahead of us, but our girl Amy was really not happy about it. So we are gonna have to be much more aggressive but now we get to introduce a reward for torturing her. Yay. No seriously, we can’t force her to do anything per se but we can be more aggressive than we were being. If she resisted at all we would just drop it, but now we can’t. We also are going to introduce some overall desensitization for her. She has some sensory stuff anyway so it will help. Some of it I have tried before and she seemed to like it so now we will step it up. If you can get her body to calm down, her mouth will also calm down. We also are going to try to sneak in a powder dissolvable food between her cheek and gum and see what she does. Meaning crush a tiny bit of graham cracker or saltine between or fingers and put the crumbs in her cheek. So we have a new approach now and we hope it will prove to be as fruitful as the first stuff we did. I mean, honestly, I didn’t think we’d ever get a spoon in her mouth and now she doesn’t even seem to care if we do it as long as it doesn’t have food on it. So we are hoping she will rise to this next challenge too.
