Back for lunch

We had our first visit of the day, and came back to our apartment for lunch and so Jim could get some work done.  Milos greeted us again with big hugs, then started looking for the backpack that would hold his treat! We decided to stick with bananas, thinking maybe the yoghurt was upsetting his stomache. He was TICKED! He did not want a banana, but at times he really doesn't want the yoghurt either. When he kept trying to knock the banana out of my hand, screaming all the while, I decided I would just eat it--I had it opened and didn't want to waste it. That made him even madder! He decided a banana was good, ate an entire banana, mashed. We are trying to watch and see if the larger pieces seem to cause him problems.  He does not chew at all, just sucks the food down. This feeding was very difficult, as he alternated between screaming and batting the food away, and totally wanting it. I wonder if something hurts him when he eats.

After that, we got the stroller out. That was a hit. The psychologist suggested that after we get him calm, we take him outside. We thought outside might just calm him anyway. We got his hat and coat, put him in the stoller and were off. We walked around the building about 3 times, then it  started raining. He loves the stroller ride, sat there happily chatting, looking at us from time to time to smile, and is just in general, enjoying his time.

We came in when it started raining and spent the rest of our time in the front lobby, walking back and forth pushing him in the stroller or helping him walk up and down the steps.

Back upstairs at the appointed time, and our little guy went off with the caretaker for changing and lunch.

Hope the rain clears us for this afternoon's visit. No word yet on any paper signing being done.
