Sleep update and eating at the table

A little over a week ago Megan started struggling again with her sleep - she got to the point where she was up for 5-6 hours and was sleeping until 10:15 to make up for it.  She is headed back in the right direction now and we are so thankful for that.  She restarted her b2 and she got cst yesterday which visibly helped her while we were in the office.  

This weekend I decided to let Megan eat her breakfast (cream of wheat) by herself to see how it would go.  It has been several months since we last tried it, that time she took 1-2 bites and threw the spoon and then the bowl all three times we attempted it.  On Saturday she ate 2/3 of her food before she dropped the spoon on the floor.  She ended up finishing it after getting her spoon back.  It was so exciting for her to do this by herself.  She has been capable of feeding herself with a spoon for more than a year, that part wasn't the issue, the immediate throwing of the spoon and bowl was the problem.  

After her success with her breakfast we decided to remove her tray and push her up to the table to eat for the rest of the day.  Again, last time we tried this there was a lot of throwing of food and pushing off from the table so it didn't last long.  Just like with the spoon/bowl attempt this time went so much better.  In fact Megan has been eating at the table every meal since, except for one time.   Last night she fed herself with a real fork while sitting at the table.  

This morning she ate 3/4 of a bowl of oatmeal completely by herself.  I was so proud of her and she is so proud of herself.   She has been showing us that she wanted to be more independent lately and this just goes right along with it.
