So our little guy is doing pretty well. He's not 180 degrees different after taking Red40 out of his diet, but he doesn't seem to fly off the handle at a moments notice. He still does every once in a while which we attribute to getting up too early or not feeling well.
We went to the pediatrician this week for Camden's three year checkup. We asked about Red 40 and he said there was no medical or scientific study to prove it had an adverse effect on behavior. He did however say there is a correlation with Aspartame and behavioral issues. So we'll keep an eye on those things and see if it continues to help. Basically the doctor said that if we think it is working, there is no harm in keeping Red40 out of his diet.
We're having some small victories in the potty training arena little by little. We think putting him in underpants instead of diapers is helping. He went poo poo in the potty for the first time today. Unfortunately (or fortunately) grandma was on doody for that one, so mom and dad didn't get to be part of that. Apparently about 20 minutes after going, he said something to the effect of "I like going poo poo on the potty". Hopefully he will continue to work on it.
