We had JT's referral meeting today... He is going into the full-day AU (autism) program here in NC. They use TEACCH instead of ABA... but it sounds like little man will enjoy it - it's very structured, both physically and schedule-wise.
He will likely start next week. We find out sometime within a week what school he'll be at.
He is still making huge progress. He knows what a potty is for now - although he doesn't want to use it for that purpose :P If I talk about the potty, he says 'peepee'... Super cute... so I have high hopes he will lose the diaper in the future!
He is calling me momma - which is another big step for him. He calls Audrey 'ceecee' (I can't figure out whether that's Cie as in Audrey or Sissy. Either way, she knows who he's talking to (and so does he!). He calls his kitty Beezy (beebee). He's been using TONS of words - mostly repeating, but also identifying (and when he uses them spontaneously, he uses them correctly).
He is LOVING Max & Ruby. He laughs so hard at Max - he's always messing with his sister. Just like JT!
Our new house also has a small enclosed backyard with a big deck. The gates latch and have locks high up where the kids can't reach. I lock the upper lock and watch through the windows. He is outside all the time (I caught him out there in the rain - he LOVES the feel of raindrops and being wet... Cute, but he had to come in which he did NOT like). I have a baby pool set up, and he plays with his boat in the water... Super cute!
We are going to go through some big changes soon... Hoping he adjusts as well as he has been. I also hope he loves school like he did before - he was SO happy at Fairview.
