December Update

Okay, we have done 13 rounds of Andy Cutler's Chelation, are applying Son-Rise principles and found an amazing new speech therapist who uses Beckman's Protocol. Reece is making huge gains in speech and socialization. He is now pointing things out and saying what they are and loves playing with us. A couple nights ago he saw headlights when my husband pulled in the driveway. He immediately grabbed my hand and ran me over to the front door and put my hand on the knob. I asked him who was here and he replied "Dad!". When my husband came in, he went to wash his hands. Reece was so excited to play with him, he tried to grab him to make him sit down on the floor. My husband said to wait a minute because his hands were wet and Reece ran over and grabbed a hand towel and gave it to him. He was really happy to play with his dad. His speech is really coming along. He wanted a cookie and actually said, "I want cookie" really clear. He loves pointing to everything in books and magazines so he can tell us what they are. When I ask him what he wants to watch on tv, he tells me!

I wanted to start working on some academic skills along with everything else. He loves learning and I want him to keep moving forward in all areas. I made some flashcards with the colors red, yellow, green, blue and orange on them. I flashed him the cards and he actually said "green" and "blue" before I did! Then I laid the cards down and gave him foam puzzle pieces that were those colors. I told him to put the piece on the card that said the color--he got them all right on the first shot and every time since! I am going to add some more colors and work on numbers and animals too. He is so happy to be able to show what he knows!
