He played with his Diego truck!

Well, Mason had a great day yesterday. He was pushing his diego truck across the floor! Then he crashed it into his daddy's leg. Then he walked the dinosaurs over and did the same. He did this about three times and he was laughing! Jon picked him up and told him how proud he was of him and Mason made the dinosaur walk on his daddy's head. Then he said down to Jon and he put him down. Then he took the dinosaur up Jon's leg and said "climb a tree". Our mouths hit the floor!

He also took Callie's little cube that plays music and was taking it away from her and laughing when she crawled towards it. :)

I'm so proud of him!

His behaviors are also decreasing. He is excepting no much better. :)

I also cut his toenails with no problem at all today! He didn't flinch! Usually he kicks, screams and pulls away from me. His visual stims are picking up today though. He's getting really close to the tv (like an inch) and was walking close to the wall again. He also hard a harder time looking me in the eyes today. I'm just crossing my fingers he's not getting sick.

Fingers crossed!

Well, today started off rough. Mason pooped his pants twice (he's never done this) once was right when he woke up and the next time he was running to the potty saying I go pee potty and it was too late. Other than that, we had a pretty good day.

Mason's vocabulary is expanding. Callie was starting to crawl towards his lined up letters and Mason handed her a butterfly rattle and said "try this". I laughed so hard! He didn't want her to touch his letters :) I was just glad he realized to hand her something else instead of throwing a tantrum! I also asked him to do his cards then go outside with his TSS and he said "not yet". Gina also said she had some good conversation with him outside while playing. Then tonight he was lining up his letters again (this is really bad right now due to the dieoff from the yeast i believe) and he was lining up his lowercase letters and he grabbed the uppercase P and said "That's not it, it's a big P. How about this one. That's p." WOW. Then he lined them up to the y and said "I still have one more". I am just amazed and grateful.

I did get a letter from school yesterday saying he's had a rough week, throwing himself on the ground, defiance, tipping chairs over.... I laughed a little I must admit because that means to me it really is doing something to him! Hopefully we are over the toughest part and we continue to see more good things!

New speech

Well today went well. Mason's speech is improving. What was jiberish, is becoming clearer. Some things I'm understanding and other things I still can't get. He told me he was ready to get out of the bath tub and then turned around and said no i not ready yet :) Also his car for his geotrax came today in the mail and he was excitied for me to open it. He was actually trying to rip the package from my hands. He doesn't normally even care!

Also his behaviors are improving. I can't even remember what happened today but something that normally sets him off didn't.. I wish I could remember what it was. I need to write stuff down.

I asked him to write Mason today and he did it :) Then I was talking to my mom and he started writing Kohan! I was so impressed! :)

He wrote his ABC's!!!

Today was a huge day in terms of progress! He really didn't say anything new today, although we are starting to be able to understand more of what he is saying. I came home from cheer practice and Mason was working on this thing that teaches you how to write letters. I had tried to get him to write his letters probably about 3 weeks ago and he couldn't do it. Well tonight he did it! I was screaming and clapping him so hard. He was VERY proud of himself. I really think this might be from the diflucan working. Three weeks ago he couldn't do it!

He is doing better overall. He worked with his TSS today. He wasn't as enthusastic about it, but he did some work.

Also he sat with Callie and made Tigger bounce for her by pushing a button. :)

Hopefully things keep getting better!!

* I have no clue why the pics are all over the place.

Crazy day.

Well, today was day three with no antibiotic to feed the yeast. It was like watching him almost two years ago with more speech. SCARY. My mom came in and he didn't even acknowledge her. Then he went and sat behind the rocking chair and lined up his alphabet puzzle pieces. He never does this anymore. He used to do this constantly.

He was saying across the bridge and under the bridge with his trains :)

He really didn't do anything with Gina when she was here. He's just having it rough but I am determined to push on. I really think we're going to see huge gains! He had one complete crying fit today. I'm sure it's upsetting his little body. :(

Let the fun begin...

Well today is day two with no antibiotic so it's been a long day. I gave him his bath and after his bath he laughed for 15 to 20 minutes straight. I have never seen him do this but from everything i've read this is very common. Usually most parents say the can hear their child laughing in the middle of the night. He's always very "silly" though which most parents say is because of yeast.

He did ask to sit on my lap today and last night he asked to sit on Jon's lap. That's a huge deal for him.

He also pet Felix (the cat) today nicely. Usually if he touches the animals he pounds on them. He was actually petting them. :)

He is chewing on everything again. His pants, his bike, he was even trying to chew his knee at one point.

Time for an update.

Mason's speech has been improving little by little everyday. Things that were very jumbled that you couldn't even try to understand are becoming clearer. Some you can understand now, and some is still jumbled but is starting to sound like English. He finished his antibiotic yesterday for his ear infection so hopefully, the yeast meds won't have to fight the antibiotics to clear him up.

I've been trying to keep a record of all the new and amazing things he's said but Callie has been sick and ended up going to the ER on Thursday night so things have been a little crazy around here.

Mason did ask his TSS to go outside with him yesterday. It was a two sentence phrase. I don't remember what he said exactly though............... That's what 4 hours of sleep will do to a person.

This morning I asked him if his ears still hurt or if they were better and he said better. So that's really great, I hope he understood what I was asking. I think he does though.

He also just walked over to Callie on his own and tickled her and said tickle tickle tickle. That was a first :) Also, when I laid him down for his nap he said "Goodnight Mom". :) He also said "it's working" when I put new batteries in his computer!

I'll try to keep better track of the phrases he's using. Things are finally settling down some.

Mason just walked over to Jon and said I hold you Daddy. Not exactly right, but WOW. Also tonight I was putting away clothes and he yelled at me from downstairs and then came up to find me and said downstairs mom. He was also playing on his computer and he said upper case and lower case correctly for his game.
