I haven't had time to update the blog lately. Daddy and I started a detox diet and it has been really hard on us. I can only imagine what our kids go through. We had 3 really tough days (headaches, lack of energy, cravings, bad moods). Today is better.
Jonathan has had a very good week. Tonight he was a bit strange. He seemed in his world all the time. Lots of humming. But he had been doing quite well during the week. Perhaps just tired. Perhaps yeast. I ran out of diflucan.
We had the parent-teacher conference on Monday. The teacher told us that she is very pleased with his progress. He is doing very well in class. For a child with social problems, he is quite social. Academically he is doing very well except with rhymes. He does not understand rhymes, cannot point them out in a sentence and cannot make one up. He did very well in the Fall DRA standardized test (min was 61 and he got a 159). But he got zeros in the rhymes section. The teacher told us that she is going to work with him on that.
I feel very joyful to know that Jonathan can take standardized tests. Back in February we were told that he would possibly not do well on standardized tests and I am so happy to have prove them wrong. The nice thing is that everyone in Jonathan's class got over 140 except 3 kids that got less that 61 and 2 that got over 191 which is the school year-end goal. Which means that Jonathan is in a group of very verbal and intellectual kids. That might be another reason for his recent improvements in language and social skills.
