Ok…I have tears in my eyes after reading Anton’s post! These things are so amazing and truly not something one typically sees in a child with Autism. I’m so excited for Tony and for everyone who has watched this kiddo progress from having very little interest in interaction and learning to becoming this little sponge that appears to soak up all of the things we throw at him.
We have had 2 really fun days this week. Tony has been really interested in the Muppet dolls,(which I find absolutely hilarious!) making them spin on the sit n spin, dance, jump, bounce on the ball and trampoline. Tony had tons o’ fun on the trampoline today. He seems to have discovered how to navigate the music buttons and is really fond of one of the songs. He has a dance that he did each time for one specific song. So, we did a lot of jumping and dancing today. We would jump, jump, jump then shake, shake, shake. Tony laughed so hard at this the first time I did it! I couldn’t remember earlier today the 2-word combo that Tony used on Mon., but it was “roll ball”…it took word for word modeling initially, but he used it spontaneously 2x. I’m sure we’ll have more good times on Thurs. See you guys at 12:45/1, unless I can work an earlier time out.
