Jaden with Lance

I have noticed Jaden playing with Lance lately. Not only playing but initiating the play! She walks up to him and pushes him and he pretends to fall over.....it is something he taught her while 'play-fighting'--a term we use for gentle wrestling--or not so gently if you are talking about Lance and Daddy! But Lance is always so gentle when play-fighting with JadenGrace.
This all started as soon as Jaden could crawl. They would have such fun on the floor, with Jaden enjoying the play for sometimes a whole hour...but one day I realized they hadn't played together for a while so I questioned Lance about it and he told me, "she doesn't really like to play anymore"....this was when she was around 12-14 months old. But this week, after starting to get her yeast overgrowth under control and starting her on MB12 shots, she is back to playing with Lance. And loving it. I am so grateful.
Don't believe anyone who tells you there is nothing that can be done to make children with autism improve. I see small miracles everyday.
