DD18 mo. has major texture things, I can tell already. First of all she never eats barely anything, and if she gets something on her finger she shakes it in the air and freaks out. She has to eat yogurt with not one little chunk it it or she spits it out. She will get a hair in her mouth and will spit and spit until she can get it out. But she loves the water and doesn't even care if it gets in her face. She is unaffected by sounds as well. So only time will tell, I know some pickiness is part of being a toddler, but for me I think because of the pattern it is somewhat sensory. And she tries to get her clothes off sometimes. She pulls on her sleeves as if they are annoying her, and she loves to take off or put on her socks and shoes...depending on her mood I guess.
The yogurt problem put a smile on my face. That is my DD. She loves yogurt but if it has any chunks in it she won't eat it. And we have had problems with clothes if there is a tag in the back. It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes she is distressed if there is a tag on the back of her shirt. At least she doesn't seem to be bothered by seams on the socks. (See I can find a silver lining in the cloud.) But I have to admit that as she ages her textural issues seem to get better. She can now play in the grass and play with leaves. She can not, however, go down the slide if there is a bug on it. Not really textural but more girly. I just wish she could get over the food texture issue. She has no problem eating fresh boiled okra which is suppose to be odd for kids to like but is so picky when it comes to things such as beans. I just keep trying and hoping one day she will get over it.
