The Pinkalicious (Feeding) Party, Part 2<\/h3>\n
On the day of the party, Kylie wore her best pink dress. She also brought her\u00a0Pinkalicious book<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and her washable Pinkalicious doll.<\/a> We even invited Daddy to take time off work to come with us to the party. When he arrived, he brought pink roses for “Kylie-licious.”<\/p>\n We took a quick picture of Kylie with\u00a0Pinkalicious, her\u00a0Pinkalicious book\u00a0and Miss Jenny. Then the party began!<\/p>\n There is a mirror on the wall, and they looked at themselves eating green peppers. Yes, I just said green peppers! They followed along in the\u00a0Pinkalicious book…<\/p>\n And she liked it!!<\/p>\n Next, they tried watermelon. Watermelon was super cool because it had both pink and<\/em> green on it. She was a little unsure about the texture, but she did it!<\/p>\n They tried strawberries and strawberry ice cream, but the next food was the one Kylie had been waiting for. We are getting ready to try pink cupcakes! Keep in mind, that Kylie wouldn’t even go near cake or frosting before.<\/p>\n Even though they looked yummy, she still was afraid to actually touch them. So, she used her tongue instead. This is a coping technique.<\/p>\n Then, Jenny showed her that you can TOUCH the cupcake. (I love the look of awe on her face) Kylie decided to try it too. Touching was too much, so she used her green pepper to dip it into the frosting!<\/p>\n Kylie then looked into the mirror and discovered that her tongue had a pink hue. So she declared that she was turning pink and needed to eat some green food. It was her idea<\/em>!<\/p>\n Can we say progress?<\/p>\n They ended the party with drinking pink lemonade from a\u00a0silly straw<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0Kylie loves<\/em> silly straws.<\/p>\n It was such a successful therapy day. And, yes, I know that mommy isn’t featured in any of these photos, but you did experience our world through my eyes!<\/p>\n There are many other books that you could use for an event such as this to assist with feeding issues. \u00a0Here are a few that we enjoy!<\/p>\n These books are very helpful for understanding feeding issues:<\/p>\n My daughter chews on these all the time when she becomes overwhelmed, anxious or just needs deep joint pressure. They are amazing and keep her from chewing on non-edible objects and clothing. There are many scents and styles available…<\/p>\n And finally, an encouraging book for parents, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Raising Kids on the Spectrum<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Now that you’ve read about Amy’s creative autism therapy idea, it’s time to share yours…anything you’ve come up with that made a different for your child with special needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Autism Therapy the Pinkalicious Way, Part 1<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Do you like what you see at DifferentDream.com?
