3/25/08 Update

Tyler was doing very well this morning until he hit his head on the corner of the table. It took a good 20 minutes to get him back into the swing of things. The Easter bunny got him some new books which he really is intersted in. We've had trouble getting him engaged in book time or even looking at books so this is really good news. We are going to continue to work on books and try to make it one of the routines.

He was making really good eye contact and eye gazes today, i.e. look at toy, look at you, look back at toy, etc. He's also still doing really well at making sounds and you can tell he's working so hard to talk. Sometimes it's heartbreaking to think about the struggle he must be going through wanting so badly to talk and not being able too.

On a lighter note, Ben had jelly beans for the first time this weekend and was very insistent on having them for dinner last night. It was quite humorous watching him place this demand in a demon like fashion... It was all I could do to contain my laughter. Steve was at class so he missed it. But never fear, mom won that battle. Ben settled for a fishstick at the table before he could have any jelly beans.
