The last few days

Have been great! We had to take down the tree and all the decorations on Christmas night. Gabe kept asking when Santa was coming again, he just didn't understand it. So down went the tree!
He has been yelling alot in the last few days, little things are setting him off. I think it had to do with the sliding on his diet lately....back to the regular lack of color! I have been working with him alot on his name lately, but for some reason he will always spell it as "gdae" which is a start, and I am not about to tell him its not right! I need him to not give up on himself. He loves the show word world..he has learned to spell (outloud) tree and pie. He cannot write them as he does not reconize individual letters at all. I am not sure if he ever will.
We are going to be having a meeting with his teachers sometime after school restarts. Today him and Tajia were playing together (rare, but she is the only girl he will play with) and he was the teacher. He was yelling at her, hitting her and sending her to time out......over and over, I finally had to step in and get him distracted. I am not sure where he learned this, I told him teachers DO NOT act like this. He looked at me blankly and says "gabes do"
For those of you with a kid that has autism you can understand why I am stuck. I believe my child, I believe there is something going on at school that is not ok. But I cannot prove it, and the only thing I can do is to pull him out. If he could answer questions I might be able to figure more out, however if I ask him if his teacher yells at him he generally responds with either a bark, or "gabe no like school....no make gabe go"
We 2 more months till Deze gets in to get diagnosed. I am counting it down, yet afraid of it all at the same time. I love her, I do not want a label on her too. At the same time in order to help her I have to know what the issues are first. The break from occupational therpy has not been good for her, she is eating everything again.....dirt, food, chalk, ink you name it. Gabe needs the speech again and occupational, we see a difference with them when they get it. For Gabe he talks more clear....and is calmer.
He is back to being up till 3am again. I need sleep!!!
Deze talks well, but its so, so fast its hard to catch what she is saying.
Please don't read this and think I am complianing about my kids, I am not, we are blessed to have them. I know this, but I will admit somedays I get jealous of the people with "normal" kids.
But then again what is normal? I have a normal 5 yr old, she is whinning all the time!!! I also have a normal 4 yr, she is so calm.....they are all so different. And yet I love them all !!!
Oh and if you are wondering what Deze was doing while I was writing this well here ya go :
