Shoes

-
Peter apparently hates shoes. The first chance he gets, he takes them off. I think it's because he is sensation seeking and feels so much through his feet.

We have issues with this constantly. For Nathan this isn't a problem. He likes wearing shoes but because he took so long to walk (he was 26 month's old when he started walking), he went a long while without them and I think that he thinks they make him look like a big boy.

Peter, however, echews shoes (LOL) every chance he gets. His teachers (with whom he has been since late last year) have experienced the "shoes-off" phenomenom but Peter surprised them a little by insisting on taking his socks off. My first thought was that he was REALLY comfortable with his teachers now :)

Peter's 3D CT Scan

This is the top of Peter's skull from the CT Scan. As you can see there is no suture down the middle of his skull. The suture you see running from left to right is the coronal suture that runs from right in front of one ear to the other. The sagittal should run from the middle of that suture to the back of the skull but it's not present. If it were, it would have the same zig-zagged appearance as the coronal suture. This is a side/rear view of Peter's skull. As you can see, about where the ear is there should be a suture but, again, there isn't one.

At some point I hope to purchase a web address for it and have it set up for independent hosting but at this point WordPress.com is a start. The new address is copingwithautism.wordpress.com .
