Broke the rules

This morning I broke the psychologist's rules and fed Rory in front of the TV. We'd tried this in the past, but never really got anywhere. Now that she's older, she immersed herself in Elmo's world and ATE her breakfast!!! Without a peep. We aren't supposed to use distraction, but I mean, good grief, she ATE!! I took a hard boiled egg yolk, mashed in some cream cheese and whole milk so that is was a nice fluffy consistency, and she ate it all. So, I decided to try some yogurt, and she ate a whole tbsp. I gave her the bowl with the other tbsp of yogurt and a spoon, and she tipped up the bowl and sucked the yogurt out, AND she fed herself one bite from the spoon!! So, I was like, okay, let's try something else. So I put her formula in a cup, get a straw, and she sucked up the first drink and spit it out, but she actually swallowed two more drinks after that....this child does not drink like this EVER.....I'm trying not to get too excited, because, in the long term, we won't be able to use TV, like at daycare or if we're out.....BUT SHE ATE YOGURT!!!!! I really needed this today.
