ABA therapy with Miss Amy

JT started off with very little eye contact today, but after about ten minutes, he warmed up. Miss Amy brought the shake and go race cars and race track, which JT was really interested in. JT did spend a lot of time under the table (like yesterday's OT session), but eventually came out and played in the clear plastic bin (the one the shake and go stuff was brought in). He had excellent eye contact and was really repeating words for Miss Amy. He used the word 'up' and 'whoa' appropriately on his own. He was very snuggly towards the end of therapy with Amy, and he cried when she left.

Mom's daily notes: JT seems to be doing better. He doesn't seem to be as tired and fussy, although he is still a little leery of everyone (Tuesday was very traumatic for him), but he is opening back up. He seems a lot happier and 'loud' - the JT we are used to. I got some time alone with JT today, which seemed to make a world of difference in his 'happy level', so that makes me feel good, too.

Hopefully we'll stay on the upswing!
