Field Trip to ZOO!

Successes: 

~Maddox ate his homemade allergy free pancakes (ingredients blended into pancake mix: kiwi, broccoli, carrots, kale, plain coconut yogurt-3 tbsp, pumpkin seeds and whole blueberries once cake started cooking in cast iron pan with coconut butter spray) I used an egg substitute and gluten free pancake mix. He ate 3...success! And Gavin ate 1 pancake, Amelia ate one later that day too! 

~Maddox did an amazing job at our little Henry Villas Zoo mommy field trip! Our friend from WEAP (Wisconsin Early Autism Project Therapist) joined us and it went really well. Maddox had great recognition of the animals and good eye contact. He held hands with us and walked calmly throughout zoo. His favorite things were the "big tree" play structure with slides, the duck & black swan area, seals and prairie dogs. He also did a great job viewing the camels and lions. Gavin was very loud during part of the walk but, Maddox handled it by covering his ears and we split the boys up while walking. 

~Maddox went poppy today...(after two days of no). Hope can get back on track.

Regressions:

~Maddox didn't want Gavin to jump with him on outdoor trampoline as usual but, did well swinging next to him.
