By now, I’ve realized that the problem was stopping the Brainchild Nutritionals. I left a message for the doctor to get his thoughts and input. Clearly he needs something

Halloween was a chore getting him into school for his party. He walked around the playground during the parade with his head down to the ground – he did not even notice that we were there.

I’m just re-reading my blog as I do every once in a while to see how far we’ve come. Me saying that getting him into school was a chore is the understatement of the year. He would not get out of the car. I still have this fiasco embedded into my head and it was 2.5 years ago. When I unhooked his car seat, he climbed into the back of my SUV so I couldn’t reach him to get him out. He screamed for his DVD. He screamed and cried and carried on like you wouldn’t believe. I had no idea why. Perhaps the ride to school wasn’t as long as he would have liked. Maybe he wanted to watch his DVD longer. Maybe pulling up to the school set him off. Who knows? At this point, I did not yet know the nuances that would set him off. We were already late with getting him there and he just would not get out of the car. I was on the verge of taking him back home and forgetting about his Halloween party/parade, but I dragged his screaming body into school. He fought me the whole time.

Today, these are only memories, painful memories. Just another reminder to be thankful for how far Nicholas has come.
