A few things!

Lots been going on in the world of Jack recently, I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner. Where to start?

First things first, we got the results of Jack's blood work back from KKI. Jack does not have Celiacs disease nor is he allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, and peanuts! We're definitely relieved to have no allergies on top of everything else going on. It does, however, mean that his PFD is 100% behavioral. That may or may not be a good thing once he starts treatment.

Secondly, his therapy is going very well. His OT, Leslie, no longer works with him at meal time but instead they play with pretend food. He's doing very good and seems to really enjoy himself during his therapy. He's definitely a crazy kid though as he insisted on wearing his Halloween costume yesterday during his session. It was rather amusing to watch a dragon pretend to eat pizza. Love that kid!

His speech is getting so much better. Although most people don't understand anything he says, people that are close to him are having a much easier time identifying about 35% of what he says. He's even starting to use small sentences and referring to himself as either "I" or "me." There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make me laugh about something he says. Yesterday he heard me tell Daphne that she was driving me nuts (she was SO fussy yesterday). She was crying while I was making her bottle he informed her that she was "drive nut Dat-ney."

Today he went to a pre pre-school class at Infants and Toddlers. It's a 6 week long class for kids ages 2 1/2 to 3. He didn't do incredibly well but I'm proud of him for at least trying it. He did very well until they had a structured activity. He wasn't used to that sort of thing so he spent most of circle time crying. He did apparently really enjoy gross motor play and the end circle time dancing. He refused snack but we were expecting that. I'm really excited to take him back next week to see if he improves. All in all I think he had a good time playing with the other kids.

Well I'm off! Taking the kids to the fair with a very good friend of mine!
