got milk?

"Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit." ~William Somerset Maugham

Ah, we had milk in excess for certain over the weekend! Chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs and cheese pizzas and grilled cheese sandwiches...oh did boy get to "cheat" and oh are we paying dearly for it now.

Not only do the milk products affect his behavior and personality, but they also do a number to his tummy...which I still am in shock that he does not have an "official" gastrointestinally diagnosed issue, but I guess overall children with Autism tend to have these issues.

So now we are back to more strictly enforcing the no milk products rule. Thankfully we don't have to truly be strict or use force because he does understand how milk affects his mood and his body and he agrees that milk free is the way to be.
