Things are still going well. Derek had an off day earlier this week but we were able to bounce back to a more normal schedule in just a day, which was very nice.
We visited a friend in Seattle this week and went to the Wild Waves amusement park. Derek didn't do so well, it seems just as he might be enjoying himself something would happen and it would ruin it. I realized though, that with spending time with another 2 year old how much I want to get him better so that he can enjoy things and not miss out.
He had a banana again one day, and I didn't see anything negative with it, no red cheeks, and I gave it to him early in the day so I didn't see any sleep problems. I think I will add back in banana's and applesauce but in small doses and keep it to early in the day. If I see red cheeks or sleep issues I can pull them back out. The problem may have been is that some days he was eating 2-3 servings of the two items in one day.
He's still getting the Super Nu P5P but I'm keeping it a 2cc dose right now. I need to get information on how much he is really to be getting. Also the 2cc is what I can slip into a cup of yogurt. I need to find other ways to sneak it in slowly.
I'm also researching making or buying nut milk and replace some of the soy out of his diet so he doesn't develop a sensitivity to that as well. He really loves his soy yogurt so I wouldn't want his soy milk intake to cause problems.
Tonight while playing with Daddy he said "yellow" and "orange" and then correctly showed a yellow and an orange block to daddy. Not sure if he was just copying or if he really knows those two colors. I've noticed pointing more often, still not a lot but its coming out stronger.
I've ordered Special Diets for Special Kids, and Children with Starving Brains to read. Now that I know that going GFCF is working so well I'd like to see if I can expand Derek's diet some.
