Asher now has three tentative additional foods: banana, cauliflower, and amaranth. He's just about doubled the amount of foods he can eat. Gotta love that!
We chose amaranth because it's a low allergen grain which makes a great substitute flour to use in baking. Now, if only we could find amaranth flour. I can't find it anywhere! Who knew it would be so hard to find?
Asher and Simi are enrolled in gymnastics camp this week. Asher is attending in the morning; Simi attends all day. Both boys are doing GREAT at gymnastics camp. Simi is winning all sorts of ribbons for being the best in certain events. The counselors are coming up to me and saying how talented he is. Who knew?!
I was a bit concerned about Asher being in camp. Asher gets wiped out for a full week after a mere one hour of strenuous activity. You can imagine my concern about him being able to last for three hours a day for five days. So imagine my surprise at how great he's doing! Just today I watched Asher walk the balance beam all by himself. That's only the second time - ever - that I've seen him do that. AND, he got himself up on one of the high balance beams and walked sideways on it - all by himself. He's always been too scared to even venture on the high balance beam before - and to do it all by himself is absolutely amazing. I still can't believe he did that! He was also VERY proud to show me just how well he dribbled a ball. I think that's a milestone too. He was even more excited about that than anything else.
So, Asher's riding a great wave right now. It's a GREAT wave and a super-enjoyable ride. We'll just enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
