Looking forward to the future!

Today I actually got to blow dry my hair! wow been a wile since I have had the time to do it. I usually toss it up in a pony tail and throw my yoga pants on. It was the boost I needed though, got many compliments on how great my hair looked. Sometime's it's the little thing's that keep me going. It's just a little piece of encouragement!

My hubby and I took the kids to the park yesterday morning to get some fresh air and burn off some energy! Jo Jo's behavior at the park has improved so dramatically I couldn't believe it!!! His typical behavior at the park was to climb all over the jungle gym, he would climb up and down the steps, he loves the slide, but then he would end up running around with no purpose and he would have his head turned to the side. He even sometimes would run right into the fence because he does not pay attention to where he is going. He would become unfocused. Well he sure showed us at the park. Jo Jo played the entire time we were there. He stayed focused and continued to play the whole time. We didn't have any random running and wandering, he even had no problem leaving the park. He transitioned so well!!! He really impressed us!!! Jo Jo is still not showing any interest playing with other children but we will get there.

Starting next week we will be the busiest we have ever been. Every Monday we have our Developmental Specialist coming over to work with Jo Jo for 1 hour. Jo Jo has really started to like her, her name is Nicole. She is so nice, but yet she is so tough with him which I love. She doesn't let him get away with anything! She really show's tough love!

Every Tuesday we have our Sensory Processing play group which Jo Jo loves, he marches right into the classroom, and forgets that I'm even there. he really is so independent.

finally our ABA services will be starting this upcoming Wednesday! We have two session's scheduled for every Wednesday 8am - 11am and then 330pm - 630pm, and every Thursday we will have ABA from 1130am - 230pm. That's 9 hours a week of ABA! I am so looking forward to meet everyone and get started! I have such high hopes for Jo Jo and can't wait to see what improvement's and challenges he can achieve and overcome!!!
