This is his last week of summer “friendship group”. It has been a successful summer for him. His ability to share and take turns has gone up a significant amount, his ability to wait for somebody else to complete a task has seen a major improvement, and he is starting to be able to do “hi, how are you?” type questions.
Here are some quick photos from today
Ready to go
Little man on a mission
We missed him holding the lightsaber “correctly”, but he was playing with the two boys in thw waiting room to a degree. Athough he wasn’t whacking them with the lightsaber or rope or pretending to stab anybody (or pretending to die) he did pick up the saber and swing it and hit them lightly. There was much giggling and chasing among the three boys and he seemed more aware of what he could do to join in.
Waiting. See, he can wait now!
Saying hi
In the room. After some sit down time they went out to the hall and ‘played’ to practice following two step directions. At the beginning of the summer, he couldn’t do that, but today he did it several times after being given the directions once.
I am so proud of my little guy! 
Very interesting blog, nice article so congratulations
!!!
Jennifer, thank you for your advise! I felt so humiliated after that appointment, I was actually worried that the doc would refuse to treat our baby in the future. He’s very popular around here and came highly recommendid, but it didn’t seem right that he should scold us and make us feel like bad parents for wanting to protect our son. We’re going to hold off on the mmr as long as possible.
Thanks again! Your son is such a handsome little man!
Those are very cute pictures.
Does he have his new therapist, yet?
He’s such a handsome guy!
This was so great to read! I love parenting moments when I can look back and realize that I made all of the right decisions to help my kid thrive, and it really seems to me that you did exactly that for Zane…
