Ryan's new food of choice is organic peanut butter. He had three peanut butter sandwiches on toast today. We have started to mix his powder supplements in with the peanut butter because he is having that more than ketchup. The new thing today was a shower. He announced that he wanted to take a shower like Daddy and not a bath like Julia. We had tried a shower in the past in an effort to combat the dry skin but that ended in total failure. He stood in the corner of the shower freaking out about the water! Today was a totally different story. He went right in and wanted the bar of soap. He soaped himself up and asked for the shampoo. I was wondering how I was going to get the shampoo out of his hair since he has tubes in his ears and cannot put his head under water. But he walked under the shower, bent his head forward, and let the water rinse the soap away.
He was so excited to tell everyone today. He ran down stairs to tell Dawn and Julia (granted naked and dripping wet!) but he was excited! When my mom called this morning, he got right on the phone to tell Grandma that he took a shower! He is making such strides each day that we almost forget how difficult it was to have him try and learn new things. We will have to wait for the next new thing!

We began this blog to share our experiences placing our son Ryan on a gluten-free, casein-free,(and now egg-free) diet. The diet is one part of the healing process we have in place to rid his body of toxins and improve his Autism Spectrum behaviors. We hope that someday our stories will help other families who have chosen to follow this diet. Over time the blog grew into much more than that. We are sharing just about everything that goes on with Ryan while he's on his road to recovery!
