Well, I didn't start Roll Call this month, because we just did August's and I really thought the original BrainTalk would be up and running by now. And now that September is half over, I keep wondering if I should bother posting. (Bad attitude, I know.)

School has started for all the kids. Yay! It's nice having Tom go all day, without me picking him up and taking him to a different school in the middle of the day. On the down side, he still does not want to pee for them. Ugh. He's actually made it all day several days without an accident. Of course, he's had some accidents, too. I'm beginning to think I need to go there at lunch time, just so he'll relieve himself. How much learning goes on in the afternoon if he's wiggling and squirming? And, the afternoon is when it's just the first graders; the kindergarteners have all gone home, so a lot more academics is going on.

Tom went to the DAN! doctor Monday. Eventually, I'll do a separate post on this. We're going to run a bunch of urine, blood, stool, and hair tests and then bump up his vitamin regimen and go from there. I'm kind of excited.

And, we've finished two weeks of school and Tom has his first cold. Ugh. No seizures, so that's good. Hopefully, with some help from his DAN! doctor, we'll get his immune system boosted and he won't pick up every bug coming down the pike.

I am in the middle of cleaning out my kitchen shelves (which is why I'm here right now. Who wants to clean shelves?) I've finally gotten the pantry cleaned out. It should have been done sooner, especially with the gluten-free changes we've made. I actually found a bag of wheat flour in my Tupperware storage. The flour was tossed, and the Tupperware is outside in a bag to be donated to... Goodwill or wherever. I still need to put fresh contact paper down. Did I mention I hate this job? No wonder I haven't done it yet.

Guess that's it. Eventually, I'll write a separate post on our DAN! doctor experience, but I really DO need to get our pantry back together.
