It's Sunday!

Another Sunday has rolled around...time for a blog update! No actual news to report. The girls had a great week at home and at school. They are doing really well so far on their first new vitamin. They both started it on Thursday, and they are still taking their salt baths. Both of their teachers have already noticed positive changes in them! Paige is focusing more, playing with a specific toy for an extended period of time instead of just grabbing it and tossing it...she also is happier for the bulk of the day and only has about one meltdown or tantrum.

Reese is staying in her seat for longer periods of time, is focusing more on activities and is doing really well with her PECS. If you aren't familiar with PECS, it's Picture Exchange Communication System...basically pictures that she uses for her words. She is now up to four pictures, and she has to choose the one that shows what she wants. She has come so far!

After both girls gradually work up to their highest dosage of this Super Nu Thera 5P5vitamin, they will start with a vitamin called Speak. Nu Thera is high in vitamin B, as well as other vitamins. Speak is a language booster, and so many parents who give this to their kids see almost immediate language! It contains Vitamin E and K, and Omega 3...it's a fish oil. I am looking forward to them starting this...keeping my fingers crossed that it helps them improve with their communication!

I will keep everyone posted on our findings! I forgot to mention that we collected urine & stool samples from both girls and got those sent off on Thursday. I'll spare you the details of the collection process...it was interesting to say the least! Marshall and I go back next month to discuss those results and how the vitamin schedule is working out.

Now...onto the pictures!

A few cute pictures of the girls after school on Monday...being their usual silly selves :)





More cute randoms :)



Here are a few pictures from the girls' Thanksgiving activities at school. Paige just wanted to swing...so she wasn't too happy about getting her face painted. She didn't want any Stone Soup, either...haha.

Paige loves Ms. Josie! No one swings like Ms. Josie...apparently there is an art to pushing Paige in the swing, and she doesn't like anyone else to do it!

Come on, Ms. Josie...I want to swing!!!!!!!!!


Reese didn't want her face painted, but she did allow them to paint a cute butterfly on her arm. However, as soon as she walked away, she wiped it off!



Paige can't go outside without heading straight to the swings! She doesn't want to do anything else...







Marshall and I have to split up because while Paige heads straight to the swing, Reese heads to the pool gate and waits for someone to open it so she can go searching for leaves. Looks like she hit the jackpot! Yes, she brought this thing inside and I had to swipe it when she wasn't looking and toss it back outside. She pulls the leaves off one by one...


That's about it for this week. The girls are off from school, and this coming week is Thanksgiving. We are taking Reese to Legoland on Saturday for her belated birthday present. We were thinking of taking her to Disney, and then we found out Legoland was opening in October. We wanted to wait until it cooled off little, so this weekend is when we're going. I can't wait! I know she will love riding rides...I can't wait to take her!
