Kimi - eating from a spoon

As you know, almost four-year-old Kimi came to us with a severe aversion to eating, except for bottles of baby formula and suckers. About six weeks after arriving home, I was able to switch her from bottles to a cup with a straw (see blog post in April). We began eating therapy in early June; but not much progress has been made. Kimi is extremely sensitive to having food on her mouth or a spoon in her mouth. She wouldn't even take her CIB formula from a spoon, even though she will drink it. Well, twice in the past two weeks, Kimi has actually eaten a small portion of an orange sherbet push-up! I even used a spoon for a couple of bites! Video attached!
