No peas, please

Cash is attempting to become a picky eater. For the last two days, he has snubbed his healthy proteins and veggies (esp the veggies) in favor of trying to get bread or chips. Today at lunch he shut his mouth like a little clam whenever I came near him with peas, and then he signed "cookie", which was unexpected because he has rarely used that sign - but he clearly knew what it meant.

A confession: I have let his gluten-free diet lapse. It was just a little too challenging to do here, given the other dietary restrictions and the clinic's set menus. And now apparently Cash is on to the game and is seizing his chance to eat nothing but gluten.

In other news, he is really standing MUCH longer now. I took a video last week and then one today, and there is a difference. Of course the leg braces help.

AD is happily adjusting to India. Here is an email exchange between Heather and I:

I read this exchange to Aunt Dianne and she was amused - she says she does not know why we would doubt her ability to do anything at all, let alone hang out in India.
