What's new with Isaac since NV? Thought you'd never ask! :-)

October 16, 2010

This morning started like every other day... I made Isaac his PB & J with fish

oil in it. He began watching the Super Y show (super readers). Anyway, through

the show Super Y's baby sister said her first word, which was, " Y " , her older

brother's name. Isaac walked over to me and said, " Baby, Y! " . He didn't say,

" said " but, I got what he was saying! Then later in the show when the pig was

using the alphabet to build a bridge, he put up all the letters of the alphabet

up and asked the kids watching the show to point out where the letter b was.

Before the show explained where the B was, Isaac pointed to it!!! Then he

pointed to the R, the I, D, G and E!!! I didn't even KNOW he could identify

letters in the alphabet so I was completely shocked! He even did the sounds that

went along with them. I am SO proud of him! He is starting to put two word

sentences together. He has been doing, " more bread " as well and doing the signs

as he says it. He is much more vocal and doing many more signs.

On a more sober note, sadly, he is resisting the NV more than ever. But, I

believe this is a " good " sign in a way, because I can see the wheels turning in

his head on how to outsmart me! I guess I should be worried if he just layed

there like a limp fish, fussing and didn't do anything, but, he's learning to

push the sippy cup " nipple " out with his tongue (which is excellent exercise by

the way) or he will just bite down on the nipple and not allow any juice to pass

through. He is much more aware now, which may be part of his resistence towards

it. This morning I sat with him for nearly 3 hours until it was all gone

(thankfully I put TWO scoops in it!). I guess it's a good thing that I'm a stay

at home mom and don't have many places to be. :-( I am determined though to

make sure he gets all of his two scoops in him per day. I just hope this passes

soon. I hope he begins drinking it on his own again. I am seeing such

improvement in him, I don't want it to stop. I am going to San Diego the 21st

thru the 24th and wonder if my husband and mom will be able to get it in him

while I'm gone. I worry about that, but, as it is now, he is doing better than

great. He is communicating much better in both sign language combined with

speech AND identifying the letters of the alphabet! I'm so excited about what

I'll see next!
