A few changes to note


(a picture from last Easter I thought was cute)
Okay, this is Thursday night, and we have had two days to observe a few changes we have seen in Lauren from before administering SPARK until now.

Lauren considerably listens more intently, and is able to answer questions and recall things we have taught her quicker.

She smiles more. This is a big difference even from last Sunday! We thought she was having some mild sadness or depressing mood swings (nothing uncommon from a 3 year old, but noted)
She is smiling and more silly today.

I usually mix up 4 oz in the morning, split it in half and give it to her an hour to two hours after breakfast without food, and then around 3 in the afternoon a few hours between meals without a snack. Today, my husband prepared the SPARK for Lauren. I didn't notice until she got into the fridge for her afternoon "dose" that he had made 8 ounces.
OH MY WHAT A DIFFERENCE 4 OUNCES MAKES.

In fact, we noticed she tended to be on the bouncing off the walls side. WOW. we won't be doing that any time soon. She was still in a good mood, but seemed to be on a caffeine kick, which is a big deal, due to the fact we aren't coffee/ soda drinkers in our home and our caffeine intake is very very minute.

She was still able to focus more than before, but listening skills were a little harder.

At least we know now some limits and measurable quantities to work with.
