Birthday

Sunday was my son's birthday party, my greatest challenge I thought was trying to find a cake that everyone would like. But to my surprise the first gfcf cake mix that I bought was a huge hit. No one knew it was different, they had some idea because my son and daughter were able to eat it. We were also able to find gfcf donuts for them to eat for breakfast that day as a special treat. They both are really taking to the new foods and I am also feeling better because I am eating about 80% the way they do.

After the party, my son was playing with his toys like a regular little boy would. I was so surprised, he was able to create scenes with his star wars figures and was able to incorporate his robot into the action even though he did not "belong in star wars" he was making all the little guns and missiles sounds that seemed absent before. He is really becoming quite a character, I feel as though I am getting my son back, the nutty little boy he was before he got sick at 12 months. I had a few glimpses now and then, but he has come full circle. We still have a few bumps and he still has a melt down when he is over tired and over stimulated, but they happen about once every two weeks instead of five times a day. And he is taking less medicine now than he was then.
