Lately

We haven't really experienced a lot of changes, for the good or worse, in Dylan lately but he has been saying one word quite frequently! That word being Beebee which means Binky ha ha. We have tried getting him off of it several times but until we take it away from Desi, he will not give it up.  He has hawk eyes for those things and can spot it a mile away!  Back before the regression he called them "neenee's" so he is getting closer!

I went to my Mom's the other day and when we were leaving, I told Dylan to tell Grandma Bye.  He reached out and flapped his arm a bit as if he was waving. I had him do it twice and he did the same thing both times.  One time, I swear he attempted to mouth the word even!

Also the other day he was outside playing in our pool, completely naked of course, and he came running in and into Desi's room.  A few seconds later, he came running out with his swimming suit in hand.  Brandon put it on and out he went! It lasted a minute before he took it off, but that is progress!

Last week I had 2 dreams about Dylan.  The first night, I dream that Dylan said a two word sentence. I don't remember much about it but I think Boston was crying and so Dylan said, "Boston crying."  The second night I dream that Dylan was pointing, not using his whole hand but the correct way to point, at things he wanted.  As small as these dreams sound, I will be beyond ecstatic when he does either one!  They are HUGE in his world!

We have had a lot of Dylan wandering around lately, getting in the fridge, emptying toilet paper rolls, throwing huge tamptrums(only to lay on the ground kicking and screaming and hurting his hands or feet or head from slamming them down so hard) so Brandon and I have been worn out.  Oh how could I forget, he has ruined the cd player in the van by putting at least 4 coins in it! We were able to go to Cherry Hill with my Aunt Angie and Grandma Red and all the family and enjoyed ourselves all day.  Dylan loves swimming so that was the perfect get away! But at home, it has not been the funnest lately.  Brandon suggested the other day that if he could send him some where for a year that would guarantee results he would do it! I suggested we send him to this John guy that is taking his son, Anthony, for the same treatments.  They are seeing amazing results and John somehow manages to remain very positive throughout everything.  I don't know how he does it but I admire him!  Deep down, you know we could never ship Dylan off, because we would miss him like crazy, but I can keep dreaming that one day we will see more results or one day we can look back and be thankful that we have at least survived this stage!
