So what is it?

Thursday David started his new school. He attended 2.5 for 2 days. He is tired when he leaves and is being actively engaged, unlike his old school which let him play quietly as long as he wasn't fussing. Meanwhile I start him on the high dose B6, Friday we got the Magnesium/Calcium/trace elements mix and yesterday we got the probiotics. Over the weekend, he has made HUGE mental leap. I have no idea what is doing it for him or is it a mix of all of it? Something is working!!

Things David has never done or rarely done before this weekend 11/14-11/15:

- LOTS and LOTS of "what's that"

- Answering "what's that" questions asked of him

- Drawn something and named it - "camel" "mouse"

- talked spontaneously about things

- answered questions about school, really trying to find words

- bargained- "Go potty, watch rocket"

- talked on skype with Nana and Grandad for almost 20 minutes

- played with animals in appropriate way - fed the wax cow and Elmer, walked them around.

- told us the story of how the cow and Elmer were eating, what they were doing

- added "ed" for past tense to words which he had never heard "stucked"

In general, more eye contact, more talking, clearer talking, less fits, less scripted speech and long silences. More potty using, less fussing with that and more dressing of himself.

We are hopeful. :)
