We have been working on de-sensitizing Ethan of some of his texture issues. He can't stand for his hands to be dirty at all. He won't touch gooey foods, or play w/play dough or anything w/an odd texture. So, all his therapist suggest to make him get dirty, to let him go w/a dirty face/hands, and that eventually he will tolerate it more and more. I made a chocolate cake today and we decided to get messy w/the icing. He did better this time, but he couldn't stand it too long.
Mommy didn't think it was fair for Ethan to be the only one that was messy so she decided to join in. I thought if he saw me doing it it might help. He did look at me like I had 3 heads and laugh a little. Whatever it takes :)
