Sleeping children. Some nights I feel like I could spend hours watching them sleep. I always wonder if this child of mine, my baby, dreams, and if so what are his dreams about? Can he talk in his dreams? Maybe one day he’ll be able to tell me…
He’s beat! Today went so well after school with his new CSW (community support worker). She is wonderful and an absolute PERFECT match for our family. It really is true, “Good things DO come to those who wait.”
I spent the afternoon working with my Boardmaker software, creating and printing tons of pictures so that our CSW can help the boy wonder better understand the plan for the days that she is here. He did great today. I had to laugh when she put out a choice board and gave him six options for activities. It was after dinner so she threw “take a shower” in with “go fish”, “go potty”, “Lego’s”, etc. He chose, “take a shower”!! We all laughed but hey, we ran with it. He even went straight to the bathroom first to “go potty”. I think seeing the PEC reminded him that he had to go. The boy is such a visual learner. I know our CSW was grateful for the communication help, it certainly made her job much easier today. It was an all around smooth after school to bedtime chunk of time.
God bless Mayer-Johnson!
That photo is incredible! Guess I’m a visual learner too, because I’m learning to really love your boy wonder.
I love the pic, especially with the little stuffed animal. Kayla has finally taken to a normal stuffed animal after months of walking around with a blue piece of plastic. Yep, carried a blue piece of plastic everywhere, couldn’t even thing about taking it away from her. Gotta love that autism.
Hi, I found you through Mama Mara. Last March my little boy had oral surgery, he has Autism, so he had to be put under anaesthesia. It was VERY hard for me to see him in pain and not “with it” after the surgery.
