An All Green Day and Meatloaf

Currently, AJ’s favorite meal is meatloaf. Go figure. I actually found a recipe that I could modify to GFCF for him and it is fabulous. We all eat it with mashed potatoes, salad, and garlic bread (he skips the garlic bread).

The best part about this meal is that AJ loves to help make it and it is a HUGE motivator for him. Yesterday morning I told him that his regular teacher and his favorite assistant were going to be at a meeting and he was upset. I knew it would throw him way off so I threw out the meatloaf.

Would you like to make meatloaf for dinner, I asked?  His face lit up like it was Christmas morning. When he got home from school I learned that he did, in fact, have an all green day (a perfect day) and that he even practiced making his “meatgoaf” in the play kitchen.

How cute is that?

My son is finally using his cognitive skills for imaginative play.  Hooray!
