Day 70/week 10

Today we had my sister and her two daughters come for a visit.  My sister has not seen Ryan since we started the diet and was amazed at the difference.  When she came to the door he rushed to open it and welcome everyone to his home.  He took his cousins hand and helped her into the house.  Ryan did not mind that she played with his train set and knocked over the Lincoln log house.  He thought that it was very funny and demanded that I rebuild the house so he could knock it over!  He had no meltdowns and we had a good night.  He went up to give everyone a kiss goodnight and went off to bed.  It was great to see that he was also able to interact with a new baby as well.  Although he was a little rough and we have to work on the personal space issue, he did really well with the little baby.  He wanted to play and talk to her, he tried several times to get her to laugh and she responded to him acting silly.  He even took one of the Toy Story Woody dolls and performed an impromptu puppet show for all of us after dinner.  To my sister this was amazing.  It is tough to see all the progress that he has made when we are living it minute by minute, but having someone admire all the progress goes a long way!

Since this is the 70th day of the blog we are going to post at the end of each week.  If anything really interesting happens we will post sooner but we both thought that once a week is a good interval for this blog.  Thanks to all of you that read this blog and we will post at the end of next week.  Have a great weekend.
