Orlando .... here we come!
We've booked our flight ticket to Orlando yesterday. Although we won't be going until end-November, we decided to do things early this year. This may be our only chance to go somewhere for more than two weeks before Alex starts school in January 2009.
First Orlando, visiting parks like Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom (maybe), Universal Studio, Sea World and hopefully Discovery Cove. There are so much to do but the most important thing is what we can do with Alex. Then, we may choose a few other destination in the East Coast of Florida and we may go to the Everglades. St. Augustine looks interesting and we may go there when we head for Tallahassee.
We said we will go to Erin's Barmitzvah this year and we are definetely going now.
OK, don't say I didn't tell you first Adrinna, I tried calling you three times yesterday but I couldn't reach you. So, I am sorry you have to find out through my blog - ha ha ha.
On our way back from Tallahassee, we may go to Tampa and one more destination in the West Coast before we had to come home.

Alex's new words: Boat, Bird and a few more (I am having a headache now and mental block). His speech is coming along but they are still not very clear. I am not going to be too critical and let him develop on his own pace.
I also started giving him Haliborange Fish Oil (orange flavour) with Omega 3 and he loved it. I have been giving him Haliborange multi-vitamin with Omega 3 for sometime but he stopped taking them about 6 weeks ago when he wasn't well. Since then, he refused to take them and spit them out when I gave him. His appetite deteriote and was a nightmare to feed him. He wouldn't eat food he used to loved and wanted to snack on cakes and crisps most of the time.
I decided to try him with fish oil and surprisingly, he like it and I can see improvement in his appetite. He is eating better and he is talking more than he usually does.
So, watch this space for more development.

Hello,
SInce one month I am reading with great interest your blog. It gives me so much energy and hope. We have also a 4 year old son (17.01.2007),who had a difficult birth. When he was 30 months old we were also told that he was autistic because of his bad eye contact and speech delay. We have now excluded this label but know that he has some challenges in speech (he is brought up in 3 languages); at present we work and live in Africa which makes it much more difficult for us to get specialised help. We had him evaluated in the US as well as by an OT in Geneva. He has some issues we want to work on now (eye tracking problems, poor bilateral coordination etc.)
What I am very impressed by your son that he is potty trained during the night. Our son was potty trained during the day just after his 2. birthday, but we have not done anything to have him potty trained during the night as his diapers are still wet in the mornings. I would appreciate it if you could share any advice you have to start with pottytraining at night.
Thanks so much. And congratulations to Alex for his speech output.
Dear Iris,
Thank you for your comment and I am glad that my blog gave you hope and energy
Re: Potty Training (night)
I try not to let Alex drink too much at night. His last drink would be at least 2 hours before bedtime. I would ask him to use the toilet an hour before going to sleep and then one last time before bedtime.
I still put a nappy on Alex at night to prevent accidents but so far so good - he wakes with a dry nappy. I will continue to put a nappy on for another two weeks to be sure and then will stop all together.
I hope this helps.
