Mea culpa.
There are not a lot of specifics going on. We continued at 15 minutes a day on disk 1. Firstborn seems more tolerant of the listening at this point.
He has been very tired though. On Tuesday, he chose to go to bed at 6:30 pm because we had a talk about cranky and obstinate behavior. He doesn't want to be brat, but he has been lately. He seemed to do well on the new earlier bed time. Thursday night, DH decided to let him stay up till 7pm and he was a basket case again on Friday. I let him stay up till 7:30 Friday on the promise that he would sleep late Saturday. He didn't. He was a mess. He cried over things, argued with me and DH, caused trouble with his little brother and no end of other things to annoy us. We all took a nap on Saturday pm. We slept for 2 hours. Oops. Problems. They weren't tired on Saturday night, so I kept them up till 8 reading a book to bring them back down.
They both awoke at 7am. He seems a bit happier but still a bit stir crazy. He lost playing rights with his best friend yesterday so he is a bit antsie. (or is that auntsie?)
So we will continue on with early bedtimes this week. And we are on to disk 2. I also think a bit of time on the mini-trampoline would work wonders again today. They liked it last night.
Oh, ya. Yesterday, he ignored us when we asked him to do something. So, of course, we yelled at him for ignoring us, and he replied, " I didn't hear you. You know, I don't think those disk things are working..."
Clever, very clever.

Very interested in the listening program you are doing for firstborn. How did you decide on it?
I am doing a listening therapy for my daugther (2), we are using the Vital Sounds program and it is being administered through her OT. It has done wonders for her. We get activity suggestions each time we switch cd's to help maximize the benifit.
glad you are doing a blog
best wishes carin
Our OT does both vital sounds and The Listening Therapy. They felt that the ABT version would fit Kenny better. I'm not sure why but they felt strongly that this was the program for him. So, that's how we chose it. What type of activity suggestions do you get for your program?
I'd also like to know what changes ou saw for your daughter and how long it took for them to start showing up.
