A day in the life of Tyler's parents




It seems on at any given moment on any given day, we are working on something for Tyler or thinking about what we should be doing and haven't yet. Right now we are working on a grant application to help fund some of Tyler's summer programming. Always lots of paperwork involved when it comes to Tyler! I'm also working on preparing for his AT meeting tomorrow at his school. We are both still trying to plan for his long term future as well, oh if I had a crystal ball.

His still doing spectacular in terms of his social interactino. yesterday steve and ben were playing GI Joe on the Wii and Tyler went and got a GI Joe helicopter and a GI JOe dude and brought it to Steve. He NEVER plays iwth the GI joe's.. he doesn't haev those imagination skills yet so he was communicting to Steve that hey, I know what those are, here you go. I cannot emphasize enough how happy it makes me to know that he WANTS to be social with us. There was nothing in it for Tyler for him to show Stev that stuff, he just does it because he truly enjoys the interaction. not long ago, we had to reinforce him, significantly, just to look at us! Thinka bout that..... we had to swing him or sign or give him a fun toy just to get him to look at us and now he's wanting to be around us, wanting to interact, wanting to show us he knows what's going on and wanting to be involved.

The sky is the limit for ourlittle guy!

Here's some swimming pics.. although they didn't totally capture how darn happy he was.. he had the giggles nearly the entire time.
