food chaining

Food Chaining attempt number 3: I placed some sugar crystals and some salt crystals on the kitchen table this evening (still don't have Pixie Sticks). Jack wasn't interested in touching them so I decided to wet my finger, sing a song Yum Yum Yum Yum (to the melody of Are You Sleeping) and place several crystals on Jack's bottom lip. He smiled at the song and didn't fight me too hard for placement of the crystals. He sucked his bottom lip in seemed to taste the crystals. We did this several times and Jack signed 'more' each time I asked him if he wanted more. We were able to get 4 tastes with very minimal fussing!
