Rejection #1

We failed at the rice milk attempt. Even when it is in vanilla. Jaden rejected it at the very first taste of it. 

Curious to know what his food will taste like, Mr and I both tried them out too. Sad to say, the chocolate flavored cookies we got for him tasted like cardboard. You have got to eat more to get use to the taste. I felt so bad for Jaden instantly.

The vanilla-flavored rice milk, however, tasted just fine to me. Although it only did not felt as full as the real deal is, but it was not that bad. I even tried making half dairy-half rice milk to mask the taste but the smartypants realized it in an instant. He totally refused the milk, screaming as if we were going to behead a chicken.

Mr and I were scared that he will get really hungry in the middle of the night and there was nothing else in the house that could be given to him. In the end, he ate 4 organic bananas and off we all went to bed. 

The bananas, too, did not taste as sweet as the normal commercialized grown bananas. They were less sweet but luckily Jaden ate them without any resistance. *sigh*

When he woke up in the morning, I gave him dry chicken hor fun and he happily ate all the hor fun. For lunch, we had bah kut teh and he finished his whole plate of rice too. His dinner before bed time is a bowl of chicken porridge cooked with carrots and potatoes. The porridge, I hope, will be able to last him through the whole night... I wonder if he misses his milk?

Thank our lucky stars, he actually ate the choclate cookies and asked for more. Its a small step to a start, ain't it? I hope he will continue to accept all these new food in his menu.

Mr and I went shopping today for more organic stuff for Jaden. We bought extra virgin olive oil, gluten-free pasta, more organic beef, organic chicken and organic cucumber and brocolli. It will be quite enough to last us through the whole week for Jaden's food menu.

Its time to start drafting out his menu, which I hope will one day be back together the same as us again.

Time to start monitoring his behavior and see if there are any changes then to this start of GFCF diet for the boy.
