We are having a really good morning! Bug took the initiative to put a book away without me asking! It didn't make it on the shelf but the intent was there which is stellar!
I'm also loving the Chewy tubes as a good redirect from chewing inappropriate things. He definitely likes them, and I like not nagging him!
We went out shopping this morning and when we got back, Wiggle's paci dropped on the ground. I asked Bug to get it and he did! Super pumped because he normally doesn't notice what I'm talking about or ignores these requests. He's also very good at putting his shoes away when we get home (although we have to hand them to him).
And finally, I turned on Sid the Science Kid for him and he is so engaged! Repeating words he hears to me, telling me the stove on tv is hot, etc. Love the connections.
One note from yesterday: we got a new comforter set for our room and the family was all on the bed. Bug tucked himself under the covers and said "snug". Realized that he was making the connection from his Word World dvd that has an episode about being "snug as a bug"!!
I know this all seems so trivial, but for us, it's huge. Every word is one more connection made, one more practice to get him to use his words to tell us what he wants and needs and feels!
