We are seeing some great things emerge here this week – and I must admit, I’m excited. My thoughts are all over the place, so I apologize. Nicholas sat with me two nights ago, playing with his erector-set type of toy I talked about in a previous post and he’s using the tools to take […]

Nicholas left for school a little while ago. When the bus got here, Daddy was putting on his shoes. Nicholas ran right out the door and across the front lawn to get on the bus. Then turned around and said Bye Mommy!

Just wanted to post another update on Nicholas before we start Round 4 later today. He is doing amazing! By the time Sunday rolls around and we’re into the current round, the differences in him are completely undeniable. He just wants to have fun and do things with us. He wants to play with us. […]

Teacher: Today, Nicholas helped me carry my apple papers. He listened a little but still fights structure. How is he doing at home? Mommy: Nicholas has been doing well at home. His receptive language seems to be much better – I feel like he is actually beginning to understand us. I have been able to […]

Nicholas came home today all smiles as he got off the school bus. Handed me his backpack as we walked across the lawn and into the house. Right to the kitchen, to the freezer for his chicken nuggets. 🙂 So cute. As he is eating them, he runs out of ketchup – “more ketchie please […]

This weekend, we are in the midst of chelation round #2. We are using DMSA only at the moment. We will be adding ALA next round, next Friday. The current dose Nicholas is getting every 3-4 hours is 8.33mg which is 1/3 of the 25 mg capsule. I mix 3 teaspoons of juice with one […]

So, today was Nicholas’s first day of school. The last couple of days, we’ve been talking about the school bus coming and him going to school again – and he’s been getting excited about going on the bus again. Today, he was apprehensive until he saw that bus – then it was love at first […]

So, Grandma and Mommy (me) took Nicholas out to dinner tonight. Not burger king, not McDonalds – we took a step up to Fuddruckers. Which by the way, we had been to before and it was nothing short of a sensory nightmare for Nicholas. Well, last night showed me just how far we had truly […]

So, we took Nicholas to Toys R Us today to see how he would do. And to also scope out what he might like for his upcoming birthday. We shopped, he shopped, we put his shopping back on the shelves :-), checked out and got in the car. Even changed his pull-up somewhere in between. […]
