Another day of eating chaos...
Miles refused to eat until 11:30 a.m. this morning; then he was happy to eat a half of a piece of Costco cheese pizza. Obviously that filled Miles up for a long time. This evening, Miles ate 2 slices of cheddar cheese, 2 ham circles, and rejected a banana.

Put a grape in him mouth, but didn't chew it.

Mealtime has been sporadic. The only notable "sucesses" have been
- Miles asked for yogurt, which is a food he used to love but has been rejecting it for the past 6+ months. He had a few bites and was then done
- Miles tried a new food in nursery on his own- those yucky pink or white frosted animal cookies with sprinkle balls on them made by Mother's . He loves them! I bought a bad yesterday to remind him that he likes them... he remembered.

Mealtimes were a disaster today. I was busy in my own little world and got "off" on the meal schedule and didn't manage to get back "on" today. Miles started out the day with a bagel and ate the whole thing again so he wasn't hungry for his "early lunch", which was ham, crackers, and grapes. He did come to the table and pick up a grape and put it in his mouth. Then he took it out of him mouth, got down from the table and carried that grape around with him for a while before putting it back in his dish. At "late lunch" time, I was busy doing a massive pick up and Miles fended for himself and found an open package of Oreo cookies and had a feast. For "early dinner" Miles was happy with String Cheese. There wasn't a late dinner. Tomorrow we will be on track!

Today was so crazy with a parade, a birthday party, a merit badge class, Jonathan driving, etc. that I was really bad about putting meals together for Miles. He did eat another doughnut (they are gone now!) and I put together a turkey/cracker/frozen corn kernel meal for him and he chose to eat thegarlic crackers.
Tomorrow will be a better day!

Breakfast- Scrambled Egg, Bread, Grapes
A typical response- gagged.
Early Lunch- Fishsticks, Garlic Melba Rounds, Cucumber
Ate 4 fishsticks, ignored everything else.
Late Lunch- Pizza, banana
Miles found a bagel instead and ate it. It was another big bagel too.
Early Dinner- (hate to admit it, but...) Doughnut
We stopped at Krispy Kreme to get Doughnuts for Nolan's party tomorrow. Someone helped himself while I was driving. On the bright side, usually Miles only eats the sprinkles off the top of the doughnut, today he ate the doughnut too.
Late Dinner- I can't remember what is was, but I know he didn't eat it!

Breakfast- Bagel and Milk... on the go at Jonathan's clarinet lesson
Happily ate an entire bagel (I don't know if he's ever done that before), drank maybe 4 oz milk.
Early Lunch- Roast Beef, Frozen Corn, Pear
Not Hungry.
Late Lunch- Pretzel Crisps, Hummus, Cucumber
Rejected. I cannot figure out why Miles won't try the Pretzel Crisps. They taste like a pretzel and look like a squished pretzel, but he won't try them.
Regular Time Dinner- Bagel Pizzas, Pears
Not interested
With everyone's busy schedules, it's really hard to get 5 meals in for Miles a day.

Breakfast- Breakfast Cookie (made mostly of peanut butter, oatmeal, and Cheerios), Banana
Rejected, but later ate 2/3 of a large "cookie"
Early Lunch- Fish sticks, Fish crackers, grapes
Ate 2 2/3 fish sticks.
Later Lunch: More fish sticks, banana
He was on a fish stick kick today... ate 4 more
Dinners- Dinners were all messed up due to a late nap and "real" dinner at Grandma's where Miles rejected a cube of cheese, but helped himself to an obscene amount of Doritos and drank a ton of water without spilling!
Miles was hungry today. He was happy that we bought his "usual" brand of fish sticks. Dinner(s) was/were a complete fiasco.

Breakfast- Scrambled Egg, Toast with jam, Pear, Milk
Took one look at his food and gagged.
Early Lunch: Turkey Circles, String Cheese, Apple, Garlic Melba Rounds, Roasted Tomato and Olive Oil Triscuits, Milk
Miles happily sat down and picked up a turkey circle, took a bite and gagged and gagged then spit it out. Normally he likes turkey. The he picked up a second turkey circle and brought it to his lips then licked it several times before decided he didn't want it. Wanting Miles to eat, I brought out the string cheese and he wanted more. After he finished the cheese, he wanted seconds and he ate that as well. Garlic Melba Rounds were a new food. He showed no interest in it. I chose the melba things because he likes garlic Triscuits so I thought he might go for garlic Melba. Not this time. I then substituted the tomato/olive oil Triscuts, also another new food, but no interest. Then Miles went and got the box of garlic Triscuits. I made a mixture of the garlic and new Triscuits; Miles sorted the garlic ones out and ate them. No interest in the apple.
Late Lunch- didn't happen because someone got into the animal cookies and wasn't hungry.
Early Dinner- (at Costco) Cheese Pizza and grape tomatoes
Wouldn't touch the tomato, took a bite of pizza and gagged. He normally loves pizza. He's getting suspicious of everything I offer him.
Late Dinner- Cheese Quesadilla, Strawberry
Rejected. Too tired to eat after going swimming.

Breakfast: Sausage Link, Pancake, Grapes
Reaction- Gagged when touched the pancake and sausage. Wouldn't touch the grapes. Reintroduced the food about a hour later, he rejected it again. When it was "throw the food away" time, Miles threw the sausage away, them picked up the pancake, gagged, put it to his mouth and ate it. No interest in grapes.
Early Lunch: Cheese Pizza, Banana
Complete rejection (and these are foods he likes!). Will try again later.
Later Lunch: Cheese Pizza, Banana (same food as before because I know he likes these things)
Ate piece of pizza offered him (1/4 of a 6" pizza) and ate 1/4 of a banana.
Early Dinner: More Pizza, Asian Pear
Once Miles decided to eat, he realized he was hungry. He ate another 1/4 section of the pizza and then the cheese off of the remaining half of the pizza.
Late Dinner: Spaghetti, Sauce, Breadstick, Green Beans
No interest in eating at all. Did sit with us at the table. Happily helped throw his food away.
Tried the Carnation Instant Breakfast in his milk... not a big fan.

A New Experiment
Trust me, this is going to be the world's most boring blog, but I need to keep track of Miles' eating somewhere and I won't lose it if it's on the computer. Daily posts about what I tried to feed Miles and how he reacted to it, boring. Well, it's for my record keeping and not for your entertainment.
Miles is supposed to eat 5 small meals a day, each containing a protein, a starch (take that, you South Beach fanatics), and a fruit or vegetable. Also, each day I am supposed to "spike" his milk with a Carnation Instant Breakfast which takes the place of a multivitamin. Foods, results, and reactions will be posted here.
