I don't know what is working, but the medication concoction is doing something wonderful for him. He has been less spastic, calm, not crying, heck outside of him laughing and having to feed him etc..you would not even know he was here. He has been so quite and relaxed.
The boys have a new early interventionist. Tomorrow will be her official 1st appointment with the boys. I think it will be a good thing to have a fresh set of eyes to work with them and for someone to have new expectations of them. Hoping she will be able to unlock something with Jacob. It really hurts to see him do nothing but lay around. I am grateful he does respond to noise, voices, and music.
His Charley Wrap is still in the process of being made. It is suppose to be mailed out this Thursday...fingers crossed it will come quickly and FIT PERFECT! Really praying hard this will be a good thing for him.

I took the kids to the park today. Our city park in down town has a fantastic kids area for little ones 2-5 and they also have a small water park area with a bunch of fountains that shoot from the ground for the kids to run and play though. Today was Andrew's 1st time in the water there. He absolutely LOVED it. I think he is getting closer and closer to walking. He "walks" on his knees nearly all the time now. I know he is tired of his knees hurting and he wants to stand and walk, but I think his body is just not ready for it. He was crawling on his feet today and he insisted for a while I hold his hand so he could walk. We went with a few friends today. Ava got to see her friend "Banna", and Samuel. I enjoyed getting chance to sit down and talk. Thanks for coming today Kristina.
Ava has really been struggling with things I feel like she should know by now. She can not say any of the alphabet, and she can not even count to 5. At her school they are learning the sounds of the letters. Now this, she is picking up some what. Per a fellow triplet mom's suggestion I bought a DVD LeapFrog's Letter Factory. This is a cute DVD. It focuses on the sounds each letter says which is great because when played the little game on the DVD it would ask for example, "What letter goes Lllll" and she would go the Purple one with the lollipop..which was technically correct (each letter had a theme for the sound it made like the "S" looked like a snake, the L held a lollipop etc...so she is kinda recognizing the letters visual, she just won't learn the name of the purple on with the lollipop. We watched that dang video at least 7 times today..I wish it focused on memorizing the alphabet too :-/ So, because I am very worried about her not leaning these basic things in a timely manor and she can't seem to work with me with flash cards I bought her this.....

She would say Thank You and confirm that it was her Birthday..because she thinks her Birthday is everyday LOL |
