There is just never enough time in the day!
Hope Everyone had a amazing Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! Jo Jo enjoyed Christmas, he was really happy with the first thing he opened and could have cared less about opening any other gifts. Caylee opened everything else LOL! We spent the day with family and Jo Jo just ran around my sister's house playing with toys and trying to sit on the dog's. He didn't eat much but I'm pretty sure that was due to all the excitement and visitor's.
Only 5 Weeks till Jo Jo will turn 3 and Early Intervention ends. I'm having a hard time getting past that idea. I just love Early Intervention! The service's have been amazing and we have been very lucky and blessed to have them come into our lives and teach us so much! They have been amazing with Jo Jo and scheduling was always flexible. I just can't say enough about BAMSI!
Things have been quiet at our house around the holidays, Jo Jo's play group was cancelled last week, and we didn't have much ABA therapy due to weather, holidays, and everyone has been getting sick. We did have our developmental specialist so he did get some therapy. We also received some good new's that our ABA Therapy is going from 9 hours a week to 15 hour's a week. 4 days instead of 2 days a week. Then after he turn's 3 and if our insurance will cover ABA, he will continue with 12 hours a week. So much to remember!!!
Lately Jo Jo has been making a lot of changes, most of them are good, some thing's are driving me crazy lol! But mostly he is talking so much! He is mimicking almost everything he is watching. He is picking up on sign language. He is trying to put words together and complete phrases or sentences. He still loves counting and can count to 31 now.
Some of the thing's he is doing that I am not so happy about is his lack of fear for height's! He has been jumping off of thing's, he is climbing on top of his little table and jumping off, then I caught him jumping off one of our kitchen stool's which is like a foot higher than his little table. He is such a boy!!!
But most of all he has been covering his eye's a lot lately, even hiding behind a chair curled up in a ball with his eyes shut tight and hands over them. I wish I knew what was bothering him. I can only assume that is a sensory processing issue and he is over stimulated. There have been commercials that he has been hiding his face too when they come on. I used to be able to take his hands and say hands down and he would follow but now he is fighting me with the hands down. He get's upset and try's to keep his hands up if not he won't open his eye's. It started as a once in a wile thing now it has progressed to several times a day. Anyway hopefully when we have ABA this upcoming week we can talk about it and work on it.
Here is to the next 5 weeks!!!!!
