SLP

SLP is postponed until Wednesday afternoon. Jen has an appt. The weekend has gone very well. On his own - he has said several things!! Sissy was in the bath - he walks in and says 'My Turn' I've never heard him say that!!! Especially Spontaneously. He is saying HI and BYE much more often now. He is still not waving as he says them, but they are 'greetings' all the same. It is cute to hear him say 'HI' - just like Jen does. We don't say HI, we say HEY. We are seeing his scripted responses generalize more and more each day. He was playing 'Happy/Sad' with a 1/2 eaten piece of bread today. (I did it with a Waffle the other day...silly Mommy) He identified OUR expressions accurately when we asked if we were Happy or Sad - when we WAY overplayed the emotion on our face. He was sharing his water with Patches the Cat, Bubba the Dumptruck Driver, and Sissy earlier. However we are dealing with some tummy troubles. On Thursday I was convinced that I had been on 'Maintenance Mode' feeding him Juice and Milk as he commanded too much and it was causing the upset tummy. But, he has had issues several times a day throughout the weekend. He has added some fruit to his diet - BUT has been eating MAJORITY of items that would stop him up - not the other way around, or at least thats what 'Toddler 411' says (Raisins, Nuts, Apples, Yogurt, Etc...). Once he leaked out of his pants this morning and then again at church - I decided we'll have to give the doc a call in the morning. I can't decide what to do. On ONE hand - if we give him only water (b/c we think juice/milk is causing it - overload on Casein/Gluetin/Sugars/Fats), and thats not the issue - he might dehydrate easily or not get the nurtriants he needs. On the OTHER hand - everything Recommended to treat the VIRAL reason would contribute to the SUGARS/FATS/and GC problem. Hmmmmmmm....
