Hi everyone! I hope your weekend was a good one. Braydon and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary last Friday. I can't believe it's only been 4 years! Some days it feels like more. ;)
On Saturday we planned on taking Landon to a local petting zoo that was having a Halloween celebration for the kids. It was only $5 to get in, so we thought...why not? Although it was during Landon's naptime we decided to see how he would do and took him anyways. As soon as we got there we realized why we don't do anything during his naptime. If we didn't do exactly what he wanted to do he got upset...hysterical crying...no fun. So that meant that we spent about an hour trying to keep him entertained without getting upset. Even if it meant that we walked up and down a hallway for 10 minutes....whatever will make him happy right? Ugh! We finally made an executive decision to leave. Before we did we found a little area where they had some ducks. Landon loves ducks and can actually say "duck" and "quack". I figured he would like them and we went over and said hello. He was confused at first because he had never seen a duck in real life. After they quacked at him and a little coaxing from me and Braydon, he finally got it and had fun watching them in their little ponds of water. As soon as we made it back to the car, it started raining and Landon fell asleep before we left the parking lot. I've never seen him so tired. :) Here are some pictures we took...Landon got to wear the top of his Halloween costume (he's a dragon).
Other than that, our weekend was uneventful. Monday was a slow day. Chelli had to cancel therapy with us cause her kids were sick. We just stayed home and enjoyed the day off. Today we went to see Ashley. She worked on more button pushing with Landon. He's really catching on to what he's supposed to do. He's choosing from about 10 different objects that don't even relate to each other, which is awesome for his age. Eventually we will have one for him to use at home with us to help with his communication.
Tomorrow is more Speech therapy combined with Occupational therapy. I've been keeping a food diary for Landon over the past week and a half to see how well he's eating. We noticed him eating more so I started measuring and writing it down. We can give this information to Dr. Zapata's office and the dietician can tell us whether or not we can back off on giving Landon so much Pediasure. He may not need the extra calories he gets from it since he's eating so well. We'll have to see... I'll turn that in to Chelli tomorrow so she can pass it on to Dr. Zapata. It will be good to see what they say. I'll keep you posted!
