(no HBOT) Lots of Expressive Language

Something strange yet amazing is happening to Jonathan. He is talking more spontanously. Today I heard probably about 30 words or more that I did not know he knew. It is like a "wow" day.

When I arrived from work, Jonathan was playing Playstation. He asked his grandma early today to go to the Toy Store to buy a game. Abuita didn't realize that the playstation game he picked (Ant Bully) was for 10+ years. When they got home and he started playing. He got a little frustrated but he was persistent. Finally, after I would say an hour and a half, he finished the first level. He was so excited. He turned to Abuita and said excitedly: "we win!". Then he looked at her and said: "you didn't win, I win". She started laughing. That was really nice language.

Later, I called him down for dinner. He and I were fighting as I wanted him to eat lentin soup and he was giving me all kinds of excuses. But he ate almost all of it. I stood up to get his rice with chicken nuggets and he followed me. He saw my cell phone and said: "I want mommy's phone. I ate all the soup so I can have mommy's phone". I simply couldn't say no to that. He had never given me a justification as to why he can have something. Big deal.

Later, he asked me if he could play with my PC. I showed him a new page (http://www.starfall.com/). He really liked it and was very interactive with it. Vanessa sat with him and he showed her what he was doing. Very cute to watch. About 15 minutes later, I was fixing his supplements when he called me up and said: "look mommy, I am going to make a flower". And I asked him how. And he said: "first we put seed in bucket, then we water, then we wait and then we have flower". He was looking right at me when he said all this, so although I know that he saw it first on the PC, he understood and was able to articulate it. I can tell he didn't simply memorize it. Then I asked him to change to another game. He found one called Peg the Hen. And he loved it. He started making up a story as he was watching the hen fly and get wet and get caught in a spiderweb. I should have taped that. But I was overwhelmed watching him.

Later, I bathed the kids and I asked Jonathan a few questions using regular language (not the Indian-like language that we have all gotten so used to speaking around the house). He came to me and said: "my name is Jonathan" and I said: "and who am I?" and he said: "you are Alex, my mommy". He paused and said: "and daddy's name is Javier" and I asked "what about your sister's name" and he said "Vanessa, my sister is Vanessa". And I asked him how old he was, and he said: "I am five. Vanessa is 3". And I said "no, her birthday will in May, in 1 month" and he said "oh, so she is 2?" And I said "yes, she is 2, she is almost 3" and he looked at me and smiled. That was really cool. Lots of abstract thinking.

I believe that HBOT is definitely doing something. We have not had a session in 2 days, so I am going to ask tomorrow if it is normal to see improvements 48 hours after the last dive. There could be a correlation. Also, lowering the dosages on the mitochondrial support supplements might have made a positive impact. We need to keep monitoring him.

I believe that we are now ready for RDI. I need to read the book and get to understand to protocol well. We really need to concentrate now on Relationship.
