AMPS test went super-smoothly thanks to everyone's advice yesterday!

Two changes in the process:

1) I bought a whole chicken, boiled it with a pinch of sea salt and pureed it (no bones) as the lick-able distractor instead of using 'pate juice'. Ethan went bonkers for it, and I had ample quantity so no issues with running out.

2) I used the 'bloodsucker' on the strip per advice given by Angela and Cleo yesterday...worked perfectly!

Got the test on the first poke!
 
PMPS success! Ethan was acting a little hesitant but we got through it (he seemed to know that tasty chicken also means a poke).

Exact same PMPS as last night...
 
Wondering now if I should only give the chicken puree at test time (to keep it special and let him know what to expect as a routine)?

Or give it other times too (so he doesn't make too strong an association that chicken puree = ouchie! and stop eating it)?
