Update: 9/24/2013

So much has happened!  Coco started McCarton in September.

New Foods:
- French Fries (McDonald's) - since two weeks ago.
- Apple (gala) - 9/21/2013 (goal achieved for the year!!! First fruit she ate in 3.5 years!!!).
- All sorts of cookies and chips.
- Barbara's GF Honey Rice cereal.  
- GF Chicken nuggets - she eats this for school lunch.  School trains!
- Frozen sweet potato fries
- Orange juice
- Ginger honey water
* Took a couple of small bites of Asian Pear, probably too juicy for her.  Will try again.
* Coco shows lots of interest in new foods.  She even comes and cooks with me.  
* Phasing out GF soy sauce!

Motor:
- Learning to ride on a bike - milestone!  Our goal for her for the summer!  Almost there!!!  I can still remember the day when she sat on her bike like a statue.  

- Walks to and from school.  She actually runs to school most of the time when I drop her off after the LIRR ride.  Must really love the school and the teachers there.  :)  Note to self, do not attempt to take the C, E after the LIRR ride.  Do NOT!
- Been putting her hands in front of her face lately.  :(

Others:
- Toileting - going by herself and attempts to wipe herself.  This happened since our Seattle trip (beginning August 2013).  She ran to the toilet by self and poop the first day we arrived!  
- Good memory - I took her once to McDonald's and next time we pass by she pushed me in the shop.  I got her french fries and she gobbled it up.  

New goals besides language (language always on the list):
1.  Expand on fruits - pear? banana?
2.  Expand on foods - sweet yam fries?  meat patties?
3.  Brush teeth by self
4.  Shower by self
5.  Biking - Endurance
I imagine #3 & 4 will take some time...
