Well, finally ran the dishwasher.

I'd been putting it off, and now it's running. I should've done it weeks ago, but for whatever reason, I just didn't. I'll fully admit to that being my fault, but I'm making up for it now. My legs are sore from all the back and forth, and George's set up with a tablet I bought for him years ago. It surprisingly had a charge, but I plugged it in anyway, just to play it safe. I put the device in my bag months ago. Never took it out. So I was actually shocked to learn the battery was better than I thought. I'm glad George's happy sitting outside watching a race (pre-recorded from last year), and enjoying himself. He had two bags of chips, and one yogurt. Not healthy I know, but it's more about learning how much he can take and what textures work best.

Our dishwasher runs constantly. There's only two of us, so it always amazes me how much we actually have to run the damn thing. AND I do the pots and pans in the sink. lol

When I don't put it off, I fill ours about the same. What George doesn't use in plates he does in spoons. I'm constently trying to get him to eat, and it's good when he does.

@RasmaSandra I know. For better or worse, I do get him to drink at least one nutrition meal replacment shake a day. Idealy I should get him to drink two or three, but with the leaking it causes, I'm wanting to lean more to solids. He's nibbling by choice, so we're getting there.
