I decided today to show some of the things i always talk about. Here's a picture of the medication I had to give TYler this morning.. this is just his morning medication mind you, still much more to give him throughout the day. As you can see there are ten different bottles in that picture of various sorts of supplements. Also, as I mentioned yesterday, last night was family movie night. I reference many times how difficult it is sometimes to do anything as a family and this video will kind of show you what it's like. Contrary to my prediction, Tyler actually did nap yesterday which means he was not tired after dinner like normal. So in an effort to try to make family movie night be successful we put one of TYler's favorite movies into the tv in the foyer and then we all sat in the living room watching the family movie which would never hold Tyler's interest.. this is how it looked. This is how much Tyler runs when he's really happy or if he's understimulated. So when we say that it's hard to take Tyler, places, especially out in the open without a lot of things for him to do, this is why. He doesn't do "normal" thinsg like play with other kids or dig in a dirt pile or show off for adults, etc. He needs structured activities at all times or else he'll run. That's about all for today, Ty struggled with music time at camp today:( Tomorrow is water play so hopefully he'll have a better day. He wasn't nearly as chatty this morning has he has been and he was chewing on his shirt a lot so I'm wondering if maybe he doesn't feel good. I had a friend tell me yesterday how her baby was really upset and they couldn't figure out why or how to fix it, cause obviously the baby can't talk yet. I said, that's how we feel with Tyler and have felt that way for 3.5 years. He can't tell us what's wrong.
