It is still snowing… although it is really amazing and a great experience, I must say we can’t wait for sunny South Africa and no layering of clothes! We look like 3 Oros men, all bundled up in layers of clothes looking 100kg heavier (or so I keep telling myself that it is the clothes!!) J Mom and dad have DEFINITELY set a perfect example for Gidion and did not have an eating problem here in Austria. Oh man, their pastries are out of this world…. sigh…
As you can see on the photo, therapy is not always easy, especially the occupational therapy and physiotherapy. Each time the child’s limit is pushed a bit to ensure that proper development takes place and to take them out of their comfort zones under controlled conditions. In these 3 weeks we can see the difference in Gidion’s posture, and he is now more happy spending time on his tummy (which in the past only produced hysterical tears).
Gidion has lost some weight today, almost back to 6kg. Apparently that is normal, mmmm… Anyway, our star is doing great!!!! He decided that if there was one thing that made it worthwhile to come to Graz and to start learning how to eat, it was to eat their custard!!! The staff actually made more custard especially for him during food picnic – he had a ball! He was actually groaning after eating so much – his tummy must have been felt like bursting!
We decided to try one of Graz’s restaurants close to us for supper. Daddy had some mushroom soup for a starter, and my oh my… did Gidion enjoy THAT!!! We have learned by now NEVER to leave the hotel without his spoon, he wants to eat everything we do. Good boy!! J After the starter dad had some Red Deer with a sauce and mom pork medallions with thyme sauce. He liked the sauce so much that we actually took a spoon and brought some of the sauce home with us (much to the surprise of the waiter).
