Down Syndrome Days

With a single-mindedness and a discriminating palate, Down syndrome kids seem to enjoy a very small circle of desired foods.  Early on my son ate nothing but fruit and grain bars.  “Not very interesting to me, but at least as good as a vitamin,” I would tell myself to try to defuse my guilt over the lack of variety in his diet.  At one time he ate pancakes, toast, or eggs, but we’re virtually down to hot dogs or chicken nuggets now (with, of course, any cake or cookies he can find).

 What are the foods that your loved one simply cannot do without, and from which he/she will not deviate?
