It's been awhile!

I want to apologize for how long it has taken me to post lately. Being a busy, busy mom I don't always get a chance to sit at the computer without someone climbing on me, needing a drink, or help in the bathroom. Oh its a glamorous life I live!
Well there has been a lot that has happened in the last month. The gluten free diet is going really well. Hunter still isn't the happiest about it, but we've seen improvement from it. He doesn't have nearly as many spazy moments that he used to. I think with everything combined that we've been doing has really helped. He did get into gluten a few weeks ago and he was out of sorts that night and into the next evening. You could tell that the focus was off and the stimulation was running on high. I believe that I've proven my point and that we need to continue the gluten free diet. (love when I'm right)
Like I said there has been improvement but sometimes it feels like you take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. We've been experiencing this lately. I might have to put the blame on my mouth...whenever I say "wow we've had a really good week" then it seems as if everything turns around....Darn me and my mouth. We are still having issues with being "stuck" this is where Hunter gets an idea or thought in his head and that's all he can talk about, it's like an obsession. When he gets like this he just has to leave the room until he can join the family. It takes time, but each time it's less and less with how long he needs to be removed. The new thing that he's been "stuck" on is he's DS games. He brought his DS to school, and played it on the bus, well he left the case on the bus and in the case there were 2 games. He found the case in the lost and found, but not the games. This really upset him and he can't get over the fact that someone needs to replace them. He believes the bus company or school should have to replace them. I keep telling him that people don't replace things they didn't personally loose. It would be different if someone borrowed them and then lost them, however he lost them. It's no one's fault but his own for losing them. It really sucks that someone stole the games, but that's a whole nother topic we've been dealing with. He lost the DS games over 2 months ago. When it first happened he was only "stuck" for about a week, but now were back to being "stuck" about it and only talking about it. When you try to have a discussion about how it's not the school or bus companies issue he gets really upset and then stirs up even more emotions about how no one cares that his feelings are hurt and someone stole from him. No matter what we just can't make him understand what we're saying. This is the struggle that comes with having a smart child, he's so smart yet some of the smallest things don't make sense to him.
Therapy has been going great since the "hard" session that we had awhile back. Hunter would much rather go to OT & PT over therapy but it is necessary. If we are going to "fine tune" the engine then everything has to be in tip top shape!
I'm off to get Cub Scout popcorn ready for the parents to pick up. Did I mention that I'm in charge of the popcorn orders for the whole pack! What was I thinking!!!!
