Captain Awesome

We were outside playing when Mr N's therapist pulled into the driveway today and he immediately wanted to go inside to wait for her so he could greet her at the door. That's cuteness right there. When she was taking longer than he was willing to wait he went outside to greet her. E was equally as excited for her arrival so they stood at the doorway while she gathered her things. Again their patience grew thin and Mr N grabbed E's hand and led her to the car to greet his therapist. Mr N said "hi" over and over until he got right up to her, he was very happy that she was here.

My amazing little man did great things again today. He lets the therapist set limits, sometimes with good response, sometimes he throws a tantrum. But she set limits 3 times today and he only threw a tantrum once.

While doing some outside play he again asked his therapist to pick him up. It's so strange seeing someone else hold him, it's so out of character for him. It's so heartwarming to see this little guy as he grows socially.

We talked a bit about how there are good days and bad days, today he did some great things but he didn't talk much today. He only said a few things while she was here, he did ask for milk twice, but didn't say words that he'll typically say for her. I'm learning not to get super stressed over these things, tomorrow is a new day and maybe he'll talk more. In the meantime, I'll work on stuff they did today to reinforce what she's doing.
