Took Kenzie to Edmonton for a week with his sister. At this time,
his Prozac had been increased up to 3ml/day. Concerned one day
before I left when saw him trembling. Causes him to get very
excitable at times. Plan to keep him at this dose for a while
without increase to keep an eye on the excitability.

Anyway, on the way down he refused to go through security. Six year
old child laying in the fetal position crying and yelling as a line
up is behind us. How I want to relive that moment. Finally after
forcing him through, he gets into the waiting room, has a good cry
which lasts until we reboard the plane. Then he is enthralled with
flying.

We arrive in Yellowknife. My friend Caran picks us up at the airport
and my son is tickling her, joking with her, teasing her baby (he has
met her once before five months ago when she came to visit and her
son stayed with us). He is talking out loud (very loud), laughing,
pretending to ride on the conveyer belt to get a rise out of me.

He spoke to shopkeepers (Moosepoop - was his favorite word), he went
on galaxyland rides by himself (he went on the roller coaster!), he
swam, he chatted with people and told them how old he was. He
flirted with the young woman who took his photo dressed up as a
gangster and actually chased after her. He even walked up to the
side of the pool to have his photo taken with a seal. He even went
up to the Maitre'd to ask to hold a lobster.

He also allowed the Optometrist to check his eyes and was fitted for
glasses (one eye is quite weak, he is far-sighted - which would
explain his reluctance to read). He has never participated in an eye-
exam before. His only condition was that the glasses did not make
him look like Harry Potter.

Then we come back to Inuvik. He is whispering in public. He won't
wear his glasses to school. He cried to me Monday morning, "Mommy,
please. I will wear them all night long. Please, not at school."
What could I do? I asked him again this morning. He said no one
else in his class wears glasses. I will talk with his teacher. I
saw him shaking again day before yesterday. He never did in Edmonton
at all.

He has a follow-up appointment with his physician on Monday. He's
been pinching people's noses alot even those he doesn't really know.

Don't know now. So much improvement and now back again. Will keep
on going and see.
