No therapy today

We didn't have speech yesterday and we won't be having it today. The therapist has a family emergency of her own to deal with, she deserves time off but I do wish it was under better circumstances. Theresa is behaving well for her age today.

We've only had one accident in the area of potty training so far today. When she did it she came to me screaming "paper towel, paper towel" she wanted to clean up the mess she had just made. That's a good sign even though she didn't tell me that she had to use the potty; it's an acknowledgement that she was wet. That's an awesome sign.

I spent a few hours picking her toys up last night just to find my living room floor in order to vacuum it. Guess what she's now in the process of undoing everything that I picked up. I'll be cleaning the kitchen a bit and baking homemade bread today. I'll be squeezing in a little more work too because I don't have a choice.

It's Sinking In!

Over a year since the Autism diagnosis and it's becoming clearer everyday that all the time spent pulling our hair out was worth it. Theresa is going better than ever and she proves it everyday. Since I put her in cloth more often she's actually making an effort to potty train because she doesn't seem to like having a dirty rear end. She's also having more spontaneous speech after speech which proves something, somewhere is sinking in! 

Theresa's supplements need refilling but it'll be a little bit. I'm going to call next week and schedule labs so we'll know then what she's taking and what she needs to take now. I'm supposed to be working so I'll be going now.
