Happy Monday! Elizabeth pretty much touched on the biggest things that we did today, so I’ll just say a few things! One of the most awesome things that I saw today was Tony’s concentration, especially with the big foam blocks I brought out. Not only was he focused on the toys, but he was focused on me! Very cool. I thought it was especially great when Dad left the room to show Elizabeth Tony’s room (which looks great by the way!). I thought for sure that Tony would leave as soon as Dad left, but he didn’t! He remained very focused on the task (keeping a watchful eye on where Dad was at all times, of course). We missed Mom this morning, but I think it was good for Tony to have to adjust to one of his parents not being there, which he did perfectly! I loved that he asked for Mom and looked for her every time the door opened. Although it wasn’t nice to see him screech when Elizabeth walked in…he sought comfort when he was upset and it wasn’t necessarily from a parent…which I feel is a huge thing.

I’ve found myself looking forward to Mondays (which is odd, I know). But that’s the day I get to spend one incredible hour with Tony. I get so excited to see what he’s doing this week and thinking about what he WILL be doing in the weeks to come. Even though I know that everyone involved is working extremely hard for Tony, I think Tony’s working the hardest out of anyone. I’m so proud of him and all that he’s accomplished in the past few months. What a tough kid! I hope everyone has a good week. See you all soon!
