Has he been evaluated by Neurology?

Best. Purchase. Ever.
Ds had no impulse control from about 18months on. If there was a place to run he did. If there was a tiny spot to hide, he was there. We practiced him holding on to my pockets because holding hands was too much for his sensory issues, but had little success. The harness worked when other things did not.

Our co-op is small and all the mom's teach classes based on a general theme. We invite families known to us if they would like to join the co-op. We have them visit for two days then teach a sample lesson. Afterward the families vote if this possible new member will be compatible with the group. We have never not allowed a new member.

Unfortunately we spend more time than I want to admit to at various doctors appointments and these have been our favorites:
dinosaurs and ponies from the dollar bin at Target - I buy 3 or 4 bags at a time so if they get lost.
Innotab or leap pad. My children have both and we only use it for medical appointments. I also bought kids noise reducing headphones to go with them.
dice
paperclips - I bought a package of the colorful ones. They twist them into all kinds of shapes.
Index cards with a sticker at the top so they are "puppets". This works really well if the stickers match a story that you read to them.

More and more I just like the candy I make. Candy from the store just doesn't taste good anymore.

put it in a plastic bag with crumpled newspaper and seal bag. Change the newspaper every couple of days. My grandma was a very heavy smoker and this helped take the smoke smell out of things she gave me.

I used to love Girl Scout cookies but the last few years they have all tasted yucky. I'm not sure if it is changes in the recipes or ingredients but I find them very disappointing.

I second Catherines. They have a great selection.

The phonics bucket was one of ds favorites.

Ds has been through years of feeding therapy and for a while had to have g-tube feedings. I would also recommend the food chaining book. It really helped ds. I also sneak in extra calories where I can. Heavy cream instead of milk, mashed avocado, extra butter on all veggies. Ds is still is the low percentiles for weight but he is finally growing.

Your oven is too hot. Try turning it down a bit more.
We have to go buy a van tomorrow
