Speech Therapy for Logan


Logan has had his first session of speech therapy. He loved it! His therapist, Erin, had some pompom balls and cotton balls for him to scoop up and put in a pail with a little shovel. He played at that for about 30 minutes and loved every minute of it. He cried when it was time to put all the cool stuff away. He wasn't as enthralled with the puzzle, or animals for "Old Mac Donald", but enjoyed them as well. He kept trying to open her box as she was ending the session. It was very fun. Brother and Sister thought so too. I had to send them upstairs by threat of death to get them to leave him alone. We see the therapist again tomorrow. Brother will be at his cousin's tomorrow, so hopefully there will be fewer distractions. :-) We are working on the sign for "done" this week. He isn't quite there yet. Our goals are simply that he will be able to communicate, whether it be a nod, head shake, or sign. I am looking forward to tomorrow's session. We will have pictures to add to the blog for that, as well. Mom is not always as quick with the camera as she could be.

We DO have success!


We have had now 3 very successful weeks! Logan has continued to eat everything (except Casein, of course)! He loves food! Sometimes it is like we cannot get enough down him! He has gained a pound and 1/2! This is awesome, since it had been at least 4 months since any weight was gained. He is doing great! Mom, on the other hand is missing her dairy. However, has seen some great benefits as well. She has lost about 5 pounds, and the cravings for sugary foods. YAY!
