Sleep, it does a body good.

Ham Central.

For instance:

When we moved here, less than 1 year ago, Ethan was totally nonverbal. He has been signing since the age of 10 months, but now he's putting multiple signs together and making attempts at speech along with the sign. Seeing him put it all together is so rewarding...there are no words really. We're actually beginning to communicate with our son. It's huge.

The only downer is that I am worried that he might be developing nightmares/terrors as a side effect of the meds. I'm keeping an eye on it and we may have to switch medications. For now I'm just trying to focus on the positive experience that is getting a good night's sleep. It's new to Ethan entirely and it's something I haven't experienced since pre-pregnancy. 

Oh wait, I did get good sleep in New Mexico a few weeks ago! Rich held down the fort and I had a totally relaxing and amazing weekend with long lost friends. Life is good.
