DAY 7 11/28

Ty had heavy shredding this morning - actually very funny. He came into kitchen while we were all having coffee and glanced at us, then the magazine on the counter. He put his finger on it and began tapping it while looking at us. I knew he wanted to shred it and said "Ty, what are you doing?", he then pulled the magazine a few inches off the counter and began "pinching" the corner of it. We all laughed and he referenced a smile to us with excellent eye contact. I said "do you want to shred the magazine?" and he took it down and held our gaze waiting - "when I said go ahead and take it", he laughed and ran away with it. Very nice intentful interaction. Ty also brought his sippy cup to the fridge this morning and opened the door and reached for the OJ. When I asked if he wanted juice, he said "ju" - we have heard this echoic before, but not lately, and he never brings his cup to the fridge, usually just opens the doors and stands there, so a little more complex than usual. Morning BM was small and formed, but vomit smell was back (viral detox, pimple rash?).

Nice afternoon at the fitness club. Ty swam and enjoyed the big pool slide - must have gone down it 50 times! Listened well, slight meltdown on 10 minute safety pool check when all the kids had to get out. Needless to say, he took an afternoon nap for the first time in ages. Too much pool water ingested, resulting in liquid diarreah before bed. (I hope that was just it and he isn't getting sick.)
