Up, up, up, up?

On Shabbos i was on a high!  Yossi was a delight the entire day! he  easily ate a proper portion at every meal (growth spurt anyone?) and he was in a great mood.  His energy seemed to come out of nowhere, i have almost never seen him like this.  In the morning he asked for his gait trainer (fancy word for walker) and he stood straight and tall the entire time (did not slouch at all) and walked all over the house.  For Shabbos lunch we were invited to our neighbor and Yossi walked quickly straight to their house and straight back with no breaks or signs of fatigue. After nap time he went bike riding in the backyard with some friends for a record 45 minutes which is double his usual tolerance. He pedaled by himself (even got himself going from a standstill) the ENTIRE time and had a blast racing and chasing his playdate. After dinner we got a suprise visit from his favorite Rivky (mommy's friend)  and Yossi shreiked in delight for 10 straight minutes when he saw her. Yossi finished off the night with crawling practice, as easy as ive ever seen it for him, with very minimal support.  i cant believe this is my kid, he is suddenly so much stronger, i dont believe any of these things have ever come so easy to him, and so many hard things in one day! if only things could stay this way! Of course the best photo/ video moments always happen on shabbos. if im lucky i can get him to show off another day.

Shabbos was a great day over all but we did have a small bump in the road :( . Yossi was awake for several hours friday night, laughing and talking and crawling in his crib. he did not sleep extra late to compensate.  enter seizure trigger #1: lack of sleep.  Yossi started to get tired an hour before his usual naptime and had several seizures during the shabbos meal. He had several seizures at the end of his big day as well. our total for the day was 7 seizures: small enough not to worry about but large enough to put a little damper on my spirits.
