Doodling!

Sydney is the doodler in the family, I love it. She has been doodling on every paper in site since she could hold a pencil. She drew this picture in the kids club today. I love the detail! Eyelashes, eyebrows, and earrings. Even a side part!

Ballet, Tap and other things...

The girls have been enrolled in ballet and tap for the past month. They are in the same class at the Washington school of dance. They love it! Sydney really enjoys dancing and gymnastics more than anything right now. It is very hard for her to put up with the seams on her tights and having her hair in a bun due to her sensory processing disorder. Today, she has had an exceptional day with no emotional outbursts or tantrums. I have been working so hard with her on controlling her emotions by letting her now that she has the decision to choose if she wants to be happy or sad. Empowering her with the ability to make the decision has worked for us. I have been megadosing her, Luke and Ava on vitamin C. Her immunoglobulin IgM is deficient and she was getting recurrent thrush infections and cankersores daily in her mouth. We have been megadosing about 3000 or 4000 my of vitamin C for 6 weeks now and it has all disappeared! I also have them on a multivitamin 3 times a day, calcium, extra vitamin d, probiotics, and DHA. The idea is that her and Luke's neurological disorders (high functioning Autism) are made worse from the toxins in their body... Hence all of the immune problems (HSP, asthma, thrush, constipation.) Their diet has no dyes and I limit foods in the pantry and as many GMO ingredients or products with preservatives. They are eating gluten and dairy and doing fine. We work on behaviors and impulse control all day everyday. I eliminate as many sources of anxiety I can. So far, this is working better than anything else I have tried!

Anyway, the girls are at tap/ballet and they are enjoying it!

P.S. I have not had any asthma or allergy problems since I started taking a lot of vitamin c as well. Luke's asthma has disappeared as well and no more inhalers for him. No more asthma coughs either!

Blast from the past

Taking a trip down memory lane tonight. Here are some old photos of my beloved grandparents and Jen!

Nakeybuns!

Cheerleading Camp

Ava was apprehensive about going to cheerleading camp but after I explained "the unknown" she showed no hesitation. She went with Lexi and Pea and had a good time! She was teaching her moves to Sydney at night. So proud of our little girl for cheering with the big girls in front of all of the parents!
