Day 5- the turning point

Today has been a great day.  the kids are doing well.  Abigail woke up this morning with no tummy ache, baby Alexis has been giggling nonstop all day, not sure she has even cried (kinda weird), and Ian, oh my Ian, has totally blossomed into a cool little man.  Over the last day or two I have noticed some huge changes in his personality.  He is communicating intelligently instead of whining all the time, he is even kinda funny.  I think he might have a personality and a cool one at that.  I had the, what I call, awakening today.  It is the moment when the fog clears from your brain and all becomes well with the world.  so much clarity again and not as much confusion.  Now Corinne is the only one whining, and making up for the rest of us plenty... "I want chocolate, I want smores, I want taco bell, I want bread, I'm hungry"... whine, whine, whine.  lol.  Food today turned out great.  After coming back from Grandma's we busted out the cereal I got today.  The kids love cereal.  I got puffed rice and kamut which doesn't have a ton of flavor but its not bad.  Then I took our nonsweet almond milk and poured it into a pitcher with some of our vanilla shake and then sprinkled our non-sugar sweetener over it.  They ate about 4 bowls apiece.  Now Ian is saying he is hungry, wow. I love that kid, can't wait to keep up the tradition of father-son buffet hopping.  My dad and I shut down a few of those places over the years... health food buffets of course! :)

The only thing that is not running smoothly, besides Corinne's whining, is the vitamins in the morning.  I guess that is to be expected though.  He is drinking it, just not always voluntarily and passionately.
Corinne said she is going to take the kids weights and stuff tomorrow but i was thinking i might do it now.... wait a second...
Ian = 30.2 lbs  (normally about 31ish)
Abigail = 37.7 lbs (normally about 38ish)
Me = 162 (almost 25 lbs lighter than last summer when all of this started)
Corinne = 166 (about 20 lbs lighter than at Christmas)
