Well ... last night was a doozy! Kaylia was over-tired from a day of 'slee-poo-poo' and she didn't settle easily .... which should have meant a good night's sleep! ... but noooo! She was up at about 3:30. She has a new tactic lately ... she stays downstairs for about 20 minutes ... then comes back to bed (as an iceblock of course). But she doesn't settle! She gets up 10 minutes later and goes downstairs again! Then repeats this process 3 or 4 times! This does wonders for our sleep ... NOT! Of course, when you're in that half-sleep mode, it is hard to think about the best way to manage this new habit.
After that bad night, today's therapy session was not really very good ... Kaylia was yawning through most of it. She was behaving the way I felt!!

This is a link which Peter gave me to a drug firm in the US which is developing a very new approach to autism medications .... very interesting! Assuming the lengthy testing and approval process time, it may still be available in time for Kaylia as a teenager.
