Steady

There's much more I'd like to post, but it's not going to happen, so here, as much for my benefit as for the benefit of anyone reading, is a simple note that Krassi's weight is holding steady at 32 pounds. No gain, but no significant loss, either, and we've had what have seemed to be really poor eating days. So I'm pleased with him holding steady.

He's got a new seating arrangement for meal times which is working really well for him. Maybe I'll get a photo someday. ;) We're also really backing off on variety, really making sure everything is very even for texture, and trying to be very responsive to his cues to be done, even if it doesn't seem like enough, to give him the chance to feel like he has a say at mealtime in hopes that he'll loosen up about it a bit. It's been a while since getting ready to eat has brought him to tears.

For that matter, he's seemed much more comfortable and relaxed in many ways, not just eating. And part of that is he's more comfortable to express himself (through crying) when he doesn't like the way something's going. ;) (This would be when I take an object away that is not good for him to play with, or when I pop through the window into the addition to check on something with Matt and come back to find Krassi on the floor of the existing house right under the window, and I come in and close the window. What nerve, Mom!)  But this is a good thing in our eyes - he's learning that it's okay to have an opinion! You should see that boy scoot himself across the floor when it's airplane-ride-with-Dad night. Doesn't matter where he is, as soon as he sees what's going on, he's there and has his hand up on Daddy's chest saying in his own way, "My turn! my turn!!" Love it.

So that's easy and light. ;) Heavier stuff coming maybe tomorrow if I get the time. ;)


Oh, and we passed our mechanical rough-in inspection this morning. Now there are no more inspections until the final one. Full speed (ahem!) ahead!
