Got all of the tests results back and an appointment has been scheduled for Monday morning with the new DAN!! I am so excited. I am looking forward to seeing the test results and hopefully connecting some dots.
In the meantime, Liberty is doing so well. Just in the last few weeks, he has begun to go to the potty by himself at home, at school, wherever we are. There are still some accidents, but 99% of the time, he is going independently. His receptive language has increased by leaps and bounds. He understands vocal commands like never before. He dresses himself fully, still has trouble with snaps, but he tries. Shoes and socks are no problem. Waves hi and bye appropriately.
And the eating...he ate cut up apples at school today. Some Fritos. Some ketchup on those gluten free fries. He is eating twice the amount he used to eat. Spaghetti sauce that I have snuck broccoli and carrots into, his pot roast and chili. Now eating some chicken nuggets I make with my homemade breadcrumbs. Applesauce. Any gluten free cereal bars and cookies I give him. All of that is great. The apples blew my mind. I am suddenly in recipe mode. Everything I send to school, he seems to eat, so I need new stuff to try! Maybe I should get really crazy and try a sandwich?
I keep reminding my self this is a child who ate nothing but graham crackers after his vaccinations.
Lib has also gotten the hang of using a mouse on the computer. He positions his hand properly with finger ready to point and click. Moves the cursor around, points, needs help to click. He has learned to do this by choosing clips on Playhouse Disney.
His eyes must be tracking well. Never used to. I watched him chase a fly and catch it!
By the time IEP rolls around in May, the teacher said Lib will have met all of his goals for the year. Last year was a completely different story.
It's like he made a leap overnight.
We will see what Monday brings. I am going prepared with questions and records and everything I can think of to help our doctor help Liberty.

Thanks for the beach pictures!!
My son that loves apples also loves canned green breans. Just a thought, I don't know if there is any connection between the two. (I meant between apples and green beans, but perhaps a connection between the two boys also. ;) )
