Lately some really neat things have happened. As you know, I had a very rough year.
However, some really cool things have been going on and I wanted to mention them, since I am so busy these days & I don't want to forget.
G tested very highly when it comes to kindergarten readiness. When the team at his school district were evaluating him this summer, they noted that he is actually almost ready for first grade for the most part. Except for social things/behavioral things. That is where his ABA comes in.
He started a school that is only for autism/developmental delay and he is improving so much that I find my self in awe.
When I started this blog, I had no idea if he'd ever tell me if he was hurt, hungry, etc. Now he tells me specifically things that he wants and needs. Like the Lego Movie "Lord Business" set or a glass of water.
His sentences are almost neurotypical. Everyday we practice conversations. His dad had him on Saturday so I could work the hours I missed on Labor Day. G wanted to call me. He actually talked to me (mostly answering yes/no questions) for a few minutes.
he even has an imaginary brother that he tells me about. He says "my brother is Brad. His dad is Harry and his mom is Sarah. his room is the light blue room."
His reading is also way amazing. He started reading one of my nursing articles for school, aloud. "the focus of this paper is to..."
He is also almost 100% potty trained. He hugs me and tells me he loves me.
I am so honored to be this kid's mama. He works so hard. It is paying off.
His progress is astounding. Wow. just wow.
