BUSY BUSY BUSY............

The past few weeks have been full of memories, picture taking and busy times before Christmas. Yesterday I was blessed to be able to go out with my Mom and Momma Whylene ( my boyfriends mother ). I had such a great time hanging out with two of the most precious women in my life. I am looking forward to a beautiful Christmas this year!

Now, on to some updates on the boys and Handsomes progress..... The boys have been busy visiting with cousins, and aunts and uncles and Grani Whylene :). This week will be full of Christmas baking and ornament making :) I"m looking forward to it !!

Littleman is keeping busy as usual! That boy never stops running from the time he gets up, even when he is sick! :) I found a soccer league for his age and I think this coming year Littleman will be running his little feet after a soccer ball for awhile :) Burn off some of his energy for at least a little bit! He is such a joy to have though :) I love being able to see how typical he is and I feel blessed by that, even on the days he is driving me bonkers :)!

Now onto progress for Handsome, The past few weeks have been hard health wise for Handsome. He is still struggling with coughing a lot at night. Seems like this cough is hindering a lot of progress. I have emailed Pierre to see what he suggests again.

BUT some great things have been happening as well... the anxiety has dwindled down and transitioning at school and home are getting better. Also, he is doing fantastic with  playing pretend, on his own!!!! This morning he was pretending his animals were making sand angels (our version of snow angels in AZ :) LOL ) He had his dinosaur talking to Woody telling him how fun it is to make sand angels and he should do it too!! WTH!!!! I could hardly believe what I was seeing!!  He also this morning was playing with batman and Robin and the Batcave and playing pretend with them!!! They were super hero rescuers saving the day!!! :) You can imagine I was beeming with pride!!!  He also is making GREAT progress with his reading! This morning he looked at Robins bike and said mom R is for Robin! Last night he was able to tell me, his headache hurt, poor guy it hurt so bad he was crying and feel asleep, today he is MUCH better.

All in all, we see great progress and he is no longer taking 14 supplements a day!All he is taking is Vitamin D, Vitamin C and DHA.

Well, its time to get some more cookie dough ready so it can chill overnight! I hope you all have blessed Christmas Week!

Much Love!

Skills

 LOTS of great new skills are showing up out of no where :) Handsome will tell me when he is mad now, literally too :) lol... The other day I told him he could not play on the computer that he had to play a game with me and he said in a very stern voice.... Mommy I'm mad! I don't want to play the game, I wanna play the computer! And although this could be annoying to some, its an AMAZING accomplishment for Handsome to be able to express his emotions and be correct about what emotion it is that he is having :) I couldn't be prouder of him!

Get this, tonight is the second night he has spoken to me appropriatly about how he feels. He was upset about having to go to bed and was crying, and told me through his tears.... "But mom I have a question for you" " Can I watch the show tomorrow when I am done crying" :) Yes Matthias you can watch the show tomorrow :) I LOVE the new communication skills he is aquiring :) 

Looking forward to a good week!

Much Love!

Progress...........December 3rd

I dosed Handsome last night (sip dosed ) and once again this morning as his coughing was really bad.... and today he is much calmer and recovering from transitioning and meltdowns MUCH quicker :) .... also............shhhh don't tell him this but tonight for the first time in 4 weeks HE DIDN'T ONCE ASK while in the shower tonight "Mommy there's no fish in the shower!!!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!! Lets pray it continues :) The anxiety stuff he has is just awful!

He got off the computer after me asking several times, but the good part is he only screamed once and it was done with!! NO screaming about it till we're in the shower upstairs...

***WARNING TO ALL WITH SENSITIVE STOMACHS I'M TALKING ABOUT POOP**
Also on the poop watch :) the color is starting to change to the regular brown color again :) Will know for sure tomorrow :)

Yesterday we noticed he is not picking at his eczema anymore this is a great thing as he would come home with huge scabs and pick them off and would have the blood dripping down his legs :(...

I'm thinking the dosing may be every 2 days, but also it depends on if its a stressful day or not as well again its a wait and see type of thing like anything else with autism :)

On a side note He is verbally stimming a lot singing The Wiggles song over and over again, and flipping lights switches on and off, but besides that nothing to bad :) So pretty good stuff for today :)

Also when his speech therapist came over today, he was crying about not being able to be on the computer and my mom did the trick daddy taught him " Count to 10" and he calmed down after his therapist had him count 2 times and get this........... he was quiet the whole time during therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!! He paid attention and worked :)

All in all, GREAT stuff :)

Oh ya!!! And the BIGGEST THING!!! He is NOT taking any supplements anymore except Vitamin D, C and his DHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is HUGE LADIES AND GENTS!!!! Handsome was on a ton of supplements and a shot of Methyl B12 before we tried homeopathy.

Lots of great progress so far and this is week 5 I believe :)

Keep praying for him!

Much love!
