Subj : moving or not To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Mar 10 2020 08:06:00 Hi Nancy! BM>>> she's eating a decent variety, just of different stuff. She said she BM>>> didn't like raisins (the eyes) but ate them anyway; no cajoling. NB>>> If you don't push, she'll probably eventually go back to her old NB>>> favorites, just in more moderation... I'd guess she's getting into a NB>>> phase of honing her discretion and ability to choose... :) BM>> Right. Could be more "I'm tired of" as opposed to "I don't like" but BM>> hasn't learned the distinction. Either way it's probably going to be BM>> left on the plate. As long as what she does eat is overall nutritious BM>> everyone is fine with it. NB>> That's the important thing, after all... :) BM> Right. Similar to I couldn't drink liquid milk for a while; just got BM> the calcium, etc., from cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, BM> etc. There were probably some nutrients where the liquid milk was a BM> better source but as that means of delivery wasn't tolerated use a BM> different one. NB> Generally options available.... ;) Right. The only thing I missed about not being able to ingest liquid milk is couldn't eat cereal. Didn't have cereal all the time buy was a breakfast option. Water isn't a taste substitute! I don't think the milk alternatives were available in the 70's (soy, almond. etc.). Powdered milk -- ??; I don't recall one way or another. NB> Below, dunno if you meant to just clip out the rest of the NB> message, or planned to add a comment and got distracted.... so I NB> left it in.... (you'd left in the end lines, too, including tear NB> and origin...) Me, get dist-- ooh! look at that! BM>> That's a possibility too. We were suprised she was able to jump on to BM>> the couch -- always needed help to get into the car for car rides, BM>> even the back steps into the house (two + landing then into the house) BM>> she'd need help. LIS, OK, we're all surprised, the jumping up was an BM>> accident, nothing bad happened, she knew she wasn't supposed to be up BM>> there and we knew she knew and it occurred only becuse we were all BM>> playing. ...And then I had to help her down because she couldn't work BM>> up the courage! NB>> She probably had surprised herself as well... Just enough extra NB>> adrenaline to propel her higher and farther than she thought... ;) BM> We thought similarly. She did have that look and tail-wag of "look BM> what I did!" combined with "oh poop! I shouldn't be up here - but look BM> what I did! ...Now how to I get down? Please don't spank me: I know I BM> did wrong!" LIS, I/we did let her know we knew it was an accident, BM> were as surprised as she was, and she's not going to be in trouble. NB> As long as she didn't get into the habit of it, no harm done.... NB> ;) No, she never got into the habit of jumping on furniture, nor people. Well, the only time she tried to climb was during thunderstorms or fireworks when she was scared and wanted to be held and comforted -- that's different. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
