Like toasting a glass with someone, except we do it for anything (fork to fork, spoon to spoon, etc.). Sometimes Xavier will do the chin-chin part but still won't taste the food, but often he'll take a bite that way, at the same time we do. I'm also trying to work in the if/then statements. We're still having some confusion over the "then/after" part (periods of time are still a blurry notion), but I have good faith. White drapes... twin-bed sheets without cartoon characters... yup. Simple is hard to find. What sometimes works with Xavier is “chin-chin” (hear, hear!). Like toasting a glass with someone, except we do it for anything (fork to fork, spoon to spoon, etc.).

No lace, no frills, just simple, non-offensive, "my house is on the market" white drapes. Seemed like a simple request. No dice. Checked 4 places and finally ended up with blue instead. Norah has gotten far pickier about her food as well. Still wonderfully experimental when compared to other toddlers I know, but more restrictive than she used to be. I can usually get her to try something new by having her stab a piece of the offensive food onto her fork and give the bite to me. After much drama concerning the outragiously tasty morsel...she is more likely to try it herself. If not, I then suggest she give Elmo (or any other character who appears on her plate, or cup, or placemat) a bite. She loves to share her food and by this point she starts to feel left out and will usually give it a shot. I'm still working on the if/then statements. I'm looking forward to the day that "If you take a bite of this, then you can have a little more V8," makes sense to her. No luck just yet. We recently went looking for white drapes for our kitchen.
