Yes, today is day 22, not 23. Somehow I got my days mixed up last week.
The boys have seemed a bit tired today, probably a bout of die-off. I gave them some extra garlic yesterday.
It's time to start Stage 3 of Intro! Tonight with our pork roast (which is nearly done) I'll be giving the boys a teaspoon of avocado. Hopefully they will handle the extra fiber okay, and like it at least a little since avocado adds calories to their diet.
Our ND program is progressing. The girls are getting more done, and I'm even managing to do a little every day. One thing we work on with the boys is their processing, both auditory and visual. Before GAPS D could only remember a sequence of 2 digits to repeat back. Now he is doing 3!!! J is working at about a 4. To learn phonics properly you need to process at 5. The boys are learning to sight read, but their low processing level has made it slow going.
About Me
- Helping D and J
- Robert and I have been married over 20 years and have 4 children. Our girls are 20 and our boys are 11 and 9. D developed normally for the first 15-18 months of his life. Then there was a year of stress in his life. I was in the hospital twice, we moved, then his younger brother was born 3 weeks early with a heart defect and spent 3 weeks in the hospital. He never spoke much and over time he slowly withdrew making less eye contact and falling into the range of ASD. J was born with transpositon of the great vessels (main arteries out of his heart were switched) and required surgery at 8 days old to correct. Surgery went very well and he became a very active little boy. He suffered from contstipation. Following big brothers lead, he rarely spoke and while not ASD was learning delayed.
