Matt - update

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to be so delinquent in my updating. Work has been crazy.

Once again, not sure if it is because of the Nutriiveda we've been giving Matt

or if he was going to have a burst or BUT he is talking ALL of the time right

now.

He came to my office on Friday to go to dinner with a family friend. Matt has

been coming to my office since he was a small baby. One of my friends who had

not seen or talked to him since the last time he visited the office - 3 or so

months ago - could NOT get over how incredibly well he was doing. He talked to

her for 15 minutes - in full sentences - small sentenced - but full sentences -

and lots of sentences strung together, discussed things he had done over the

holidays - with clarity, he aswered her questions. It was amazing to watch.

When he wondered off to visit with someone - she looked at me and her jaw

dropped. She could NOT believe the conversation they had just had. She had

goosebumps.

Is it because his school situation is better? Nutriiveda? Was going to have

this amazing burst anyway? I just don't know. But I'm so excited by what I'm

see.

OH! Last night - he heard the phone ring - I did not - but I did hear him in

the back bedroom talking on it. I assumed he was pretending to talk on the

phone - which is a favorite game of his - while he played a computer game. I

hear him talking to a friend of mine who had stopped by earlier that day. I

assume he has picked her to *talk* to because he had just seen her that morning.

He runs from the back bedroom to the living room and tells me that Jeanie is on

the phone. I am trying to get us out of the house to pick my mother up at the

airport and give him a vague - that's nice honey. He runs to the back bedroom

again. I follow with his shoes in my hand - sort of annoyed that he isn't

putting on his shoes cuz we have to leave. I see the phone off the hook. I

pick up the handset to hang it up and hear my girlfriend's voice. Oh my

goodness - he had a conversation on the phone - with someone who is not a family

member and who he is comfortable talking to. He said hello, answered her

questions, followed her instructions to tell me she was on the phone and WAS

soooo proud of himself.

LOL - I am standing there holding the handset - totally ignorning my girlfriend

- while I gave Matt a bunch of high fives to celebrate the great job he had

done.

He knew what he had done was HUGE. He couldn't wait for my mother to get in the

car - he totd her what he had done while she was placing her luggage in the back

of the car!!

Whatever is causing the surge - I am soooo grateful for it!
