before and after

There are some very positive signs at our house that being gluten free is a good thing for Josiah.

This is a sample of his coloring last spring.

Here's a page from this fall.  Not much change.

 Here's a sample from tonight.  Yes, it is in marker but his crayon coloring from the past few days shows the same improvement.  Not only is it about 10 times better, he actually enjoys coloring now and also loves writing his name, which he would only do through much complaining about it being too hard before.

We're still working out some kinks.  It seems like sugar is a trigger for hyperactivity so we're working through that puzzle as well.  Yesterday was one of his best days in recent memory, and gives us hope we are on the right track.  If you can imagine the kind of organization above transfering to a behavioral component, you have a picture of what we are starting to see in him.
