Mom came up for a few hours this afternoon. She came with us to Zane’s speech therapy. It was really neat to share that with her. I was hoping she could do that sometime because it is nice to watch somebody like that interact with Zane because it teaches us new tools on how to interact with Zane that will elicit responses. She said afterward she felt like she learned something too, so that was great! It would be nice if love was enough, but it really does take some skill to interact with him. I think she felt better after seeing it, sort of like how we felt.
Afterwards, we all shared one Chinese dinner at the “China Go”. There were still leftovers. lol. Then I dropped her and Zane off at the apartmemt playground and they played a while, then wandered back to the apartment.
It was a nice day. I had planned on taking him swimming this morning, but he overslept. We really wore him out yesterday. This evening I was so tired and just didn’t have the energy to take him to the pool, especially not with the wave pool open (more chaotic than the am time period I had initially planned). The playground is what replaced that idea. Hopefully he will be tired enough to go to bed on time tonight. I guess I will find out here pretty soon since it is almost bedtime.
She said she noticed he has improved on his social smile and eye contact. I agree, but it was nice to have somebody else notice it.
