Re: Re: Liquid Intake- popsicles

[Guest guest]

Coming late on this post... I could not get by without popsicles for Noah. I

make them myself- Lemon-lime or black cherry kool-aid (usually just lemon lime

as it doesn't stain!!) w/ liquid sweet & low and water. Then I put into molds.

These are lifesavers for us between meals- really seems to satisfy Noah and

takes a while to eat. I usually take them with us everywhere- when we go out to

a restaurant, mall, etc. I don't know about your family, but Noah is done eating

dinner in about 4 minutes. Of course we take longer, so the popsicles help him

while we finish and then we aren't just eating in front of him while he has

nothing. For a change of pace or when the popsicles aren't ready, we do " ice " -

using a snow cone machine, shave the ice into a bowl & pour a little kool-aid

over it. All other liquids as far as meal times, etc is always water.

When I made popsicles for the firs time,I was sure ph would not

even know what to do with it as we have never gave him real

popsicles or ice-cream.I also though he would not have it as it is

the same kool aid he did not want to drink.But he figured it out

very fast and now he loves them.So you'll never know untill you try
