Sweet Dreams

The holidays have come and gone and I'm embarrassed to say that I still feel like I'm recovering!  Is that lame?!  Maybe by St. Paddy's Day I'll get my house clean...  So as to keep the ball rolling (or give it a much needed push?) I thought I'd share one of our latest ventures.  We have been blessed to have a good friend just down the street from us going through similar things with their cute little boy and she told me about DAN (Defeat Autism Now), doctors treating autism through biomedical approaches.  So, the little guy is getting supplements for things he's deficient in, including B6 vitamins.  I guess getting B6 after being deficient in it makes you have really vivid dreams and it's been entertaining to hear about it from his perspective.  At first he'd wake up too early in the AM wanting "the fire" (furnace), or his baby sister or some random thing and I'm thinking: Seriously?  Where do these things come from at four in the morning?!  Now he's starting to understand dreams more and it's fun for him to tell us "I dreamed about a spaceship" or "...a huge bug" and once he wakes up he wants to go back to sleep to dream some more!  Funny until he gets way frustrated in the middle of the day screaming "I want to dream about Grandma!"  Well, okay, still funny.
