Well... we are finally starting to see some results with the LDN. Sully the past 4 days has been eating good as well as trying new foods. He actually seems to have the attention and stamina to finish a meal-and dessert on occasion. ITS FANTASTIC! He is also easier to redirect and his verbal stimming seems to be getting less intense. We have also jumped some near impossible hurdles within the couple weeks.
1. Sully turned 4 on the 17th of July-the same month he stopped napping. So with nap time behind us I figured that the diapers should be too. The beginning of last week I told Sully that since he is 4 now, he no longer can wear diapers because its the rules. (unless at bedtime) He accepted it fairly well at first although as long as he had on some kind of underwear he would just pee in them. So off came the underwear. If he could stay dry all morning then he could have the underwear on in the afternoon as long as he continued to go in the toilet. This method seemed to work really the best. He didn't care for the pee running down his leg and so with that and 4 days of practice-Sully is now potty trained. Well what about the pooping you ask-still working on it really. He is holding it in and very reluctant to go. But we continue to encourage and know that there will be accidents and just try our best to be supportive. That's really all you can do.
2. We made our first trip to the Omaha zoo. The boys did awesome! No meltdowns, no sensory overload, no issues with crowds. We all really enjoyed it and it was a truly perfect day.
3. Sully's 3rd huge hurdle is time out. Discipline is something that we have struggled with since the beginning. No matter what we try he either out-smarts us or out-lasts us. The kid is genius. However. I have been watching Super nanny religiously-just trying to get any advice that might actually work with my kids. Sully has been watching with me the last couple weeks and I have explained to him that the children are misbehaving and that Jo Jo has come to help the parents. He watched so intently-at first I wasn't sure if it was a good idea-he could possibly pick up bad behaviors. I am not sure if it's watching Jo Jo or the LDN but my typically defiant 4 year old actually sat in time out for his entire 4 minutes!!!! I was in disbelief! And he did it again today! He also apologized without any prompting at the end of his time.
Lochlan has not had such great results form the LDN-not yet anyhow. His language is booming!!!! (I believe from the B12-Thank you Lord!) and he is now requesting with 2-word phrases. Typically one of the words is please but he is making huge, HUGE gains. The downside to the LDN is that it can possibly cause headaches and Lochlan's SI behavior is on the increase again. We definitely aren't where we were but it is increasing more every day and his eating is also steadily getting worse. He is hardly eating anything. I will try to do some research on how to handle the possible side affect(headaches) and will post what I find soon.
