Weekend Wrap up

We went down to Grandma and Grandpa's house this weekend and we had so much fun! Grandma and Grandpa once again prove that they are AMAZING! They took the opportunity to make copies of the sign DVDs and began using sign with Little Bug. This makes my heart so happy- they really believe and they really want to try. It was so nice to see them. Luckily, we get to spend more time

We had a great time hanging out down there. We put our dog Frank outside with their dog and I have never seen such a tired puppy as Frank. He must have thought that he died and went to heaven.

We started Little Bug's Autism Education class yesterday. Amanda came to our house and she was so nice. We got to decide his goals and begin to nail down some of the questions we had regarding them. She seems really willing to help above and beyond what she needs to do- for example, I told her about the picture schedule I was making, and she offered to laminate things and print off pictures. She agreed with us that a PECS - Picture Exchange Communication System- should not be used for Little Bug as he is doing so well on sign.

It nice to hear *good* things for a change. It seems like it has been a really long time that we have been told that he is good at something or that he is excelling. Amanda said that the toddler level puzzles she has are too easy for Little Bug and that she needs to find things that will truly challenge him.
