meds again

Ok so it was only been two days with the new medicine.... but this is what I notice.

Brandon was excitied to try something new, and it was a different color so that made it even more exciting... (yellow). I think he likes yellow because after the first day on Saturday of using it... he did say it helped him. Now he had no break downs and no major fits (fits but manageable) and he did seem to be more focused and willing to do things with us for us etc.

Then yesterday we asked him directly did he notice it helped and he said Yes they did and he wanted to take them. Does he like the color yellow???? Or a calm family time at home with the snow is what he needed.

However, one of our conversation went like this:

B “mom when are we getting the new shelves?”

M “It a couple of days”

B “So you mean in two days”

M “yes, it will be in two days”

B “So, today is Sunday so in two days that will be… Monday Tuesday. Tuesday right?

M “ yes on Tuesday we will get the new furniture.”

I was impressed he knew a couple of days were two and that the days of the week, what day it was and how long two day would take. This is a very different conversation than we normally would have. He could never tell you the day of the week even with lots of prompting. And now he figured it all out on his own.

Today he will come home from school so this will be interesting. Keep you posted.
