Things are going really well with Xavier. He's been on the medication for a little over 3 weeks now and his behavior has been well controlled. He's still a teenager but his emotional responses are normal. He doesn't seem to be as angry as he was before. He's swimming lots. He still attends church (just we're not always making it through the entire service - sacrament and sunday school). He likes spending time with his new scout troop/youth group.
Today he woke up with a horrible headache so he missed his adventure/challenge course group. He'll catch up with them tomorrow when he's feeling better. A small bug has been working it's way through our family. It's not the kind that really make you sick but you just feel blah for several day with minor symptoms here and there.
We've been experimenting with going more natural with household products. A friend of mine suggested we try soap nuts. I made up shampoo and soap with the soapnuts. I don't mind them except my hair is going through a weird shampoo withdrawal but Xavier hated them so he's back to bar soap and regular shampoo.
Our garden is going okay - it's still green but not a lot of growth. Xavier and I planted a strawberry plant last night and Wednesday I am going to add manure and more soil to the plot while Xavier is at scouts. It will get there. Xavier is excited for the blueberries to get ripe but it looks like we'll get strawberries first (there are 3 berries and they started to get red yesterday).
Good things are happening and I'm excited.
