Where is that bus?
Sorry its been awhile since I posted, but it took awhile to come down from that high from Will's birthday.
Things are going well enough. School keeps on going well, I've received several more amazing emails from Will's teacher. Will's interaction and sentence structure is slowing coming along too. As little as a few months ago you could ask him "What's this?" (lion) and his replay would have been "lion", then his response became "a lion" to today its "It's a lion." I see this as a big gain for him.
We are now able to tell him to his question "Where's the gigi?" (Gigi aka beloved blanket) "It's upstairs on your bed go up and get it." AND HE DOES! Even in the last 6 months or so is would have been SO much more involved in that exchange. Our response would have been closer to "on bed.....upstairs......Will go get it."
When I started this blog Will also couldn't really tell me what hurt when he was sick. Just this past week he told me "tummy hurt" when he was suffering from a stomach bug.
All of this equals progress to this mom. Compared to others it may seem like small potatoes, but in this house its great gains. Sometimes my husband and I feel kind of lucky as this language issue has kept Will innocent longer. He is the most easy going kid and now that he understands more complies so willingly to requests. We don't have bad attitude or too much acting out. Now I don't know how long this will last, but I'm happy that right now I have a 5 year old who is such a sweet, happy easy kid.
