Best Day Ever

"Best Day Ever."  That is what his daily report card said Friday.  Sean used the words to name 23 of 24 vocabulary cards and he used the sign for the one card he didn't name, "shoes."  And did he do it just once?  Oh no!  His speech therapist was so blown away she brought the preschool teacher and Sean showed off by naming all the objects, again.

He also had great days at Occupational and ABA therapies this week.  He was in a really great mood all week and that always improves his performance.  I have a sneaking suspicion the good mood may be in response to the new house.  I think Sean is pretty excited about the move and he really seems to like the new house and his new yard.

We have started another new therapy.  It is a child-directed play therapy recommended by his psychologist.  I went to a class to learn the techniques and I do it at home.  The therapy is geared around increasing social interaction and spontaneity.  It also helps teach "normal" social interactions.  The great thing about this therapy is anyone can do it with him.  In fact, the more people, the better since we want Sean to enjoy socializing with everyone and not just me and Jonathan.  So the next time his grandparents visit, they can take 15-20 minutes and give it a whirl.
