As happens each fall and winter, viruses are now sweeping our portion of the country. When ET had a recent cold he was extremely congested. Due to an inability to smell, nothing tasted very good to him. For several days he would request certain foods, which he usually likes, but upon beginning to eat he would dislike the taste and refuse to eat.
He could, however, still handle peanut butter. In an effort to get some carbs in him in addition to the protein and fat, I added a little sugar and some flour. At that point the consistency was easily edible. ET ate it quite quickly. He then began to brag to his father that he got cookie dough for dinner. He wanted the dough for just a couple more days. Once the cold passed, his diet was returned to normal, much to his dislike.
He occasionally still requests "cookie dough" for some of his meals. Oh, the frustration of trying to reason with a 3 1/2 year old.
