[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are his preferred foods?[/quote] PBJ, grilled cheese, sushi. Also most fruit, but you can't live on fruit for 12 days. He'll also eat some bread, but gets inflexible and mean if he doesn't eat something with protein. No meat or beans.[/quote] I assume you aren't going to Japan. I'd bring the PB and J, but think about keeping it in the hotel, and serving it there. Some of that depends, in my mind, on what other issues you're dealing with. For some kids, being able to tolerate sleeping somewhere new, hearing new sounds, new smells will be overwhelming, and I'd do whatever it took to make food unoverwhelming, even if it meant being "rude". For other kids, learning to eat out, to find something on the menu, and to handle waiting for preferred foods is a totally reasonable goal, and I'd do the PB and J for "snacks". [/quote]
