Several of you have commented on my "organizational" skills. Come on folks, just call it as it is: I'm retentive! For those of you who have known me for a while, this does not come as a shock. For those of you getting to know me--surprise!
Actually, this made it super easy to know just how many jars I needed and when to have them. Since the doc told me it's at least 8 tries before you can say your kid doesn't like something, I just fed the food to Andy for 8 straight days. The first four tries were in the morning (to check for reactions) then bumped it down to the evening and added a new food in the morning. By about the sixth day, Andy liked every new food. I guess it was easier for him to give up and give in.
Here's a preview to Matt's food schedule. Sorry it's kind of small. I had to copy it into Paint to save as a jpeg and bring into here. But you get the idea (click on it for a bigger view).

I am THAT retentive

I wish I had known earlier about your "list-thing!"
When I used to ask you as a teenager to do chores, they never got done. Wonder why!
Then one day I wrote out a list and lo and behold! you went down the list and crossed everything off very promptly.
I was amazed. Why? because I hate lists (and only use them when I'm packing for a trip). They just keep getting longer.
I much prefer the mental 'to do' approach. But it was completely wrong for you. Wish I had learned sooner, then I wouldn't have felt as though I was such a nag.
