what if you are sitting with her and eating the food as well? I know that my DD2 *loved* my OTT appreciation of broccoli stems hahaha.

One other thing that my DD2 really liked was a mix up...so sliced peach/pear in yoghurt...and she went for gold! tactile was her friend and she loved the runny feeling of the yoghurt on her fingers and the joy of the yummy peach if and when it made it to her mouth.
