AJ has been really great this week. He didn't do too well at his food therapy this week, but he has been playing with spaghetti at home. He's been touching it, smelling it, and picking it up on a fork. He hasn't tasted it yet, but we are taking baby steps.
On Memorial Day we all went to my parents house for a family BBQ and some fun. AJ did so well there. He even sat through an entire movie (although not entirely quiet...lol). When we were packing up to go over there I was putting stuff in the car. I told AJ to come outside with me and he stopped in the door way and said "dog". Obi was sitting next to him, so i thought he was just telling me the dog was there. So I said "yes, Obi is a dog". I again asked him to come outside and he stood in the doorway and again said "dog" and this time he grabbed Obi's collar. So after a second I understood that he wasn't telling me that Obi was a dog, he was telling me that he wanted Obi to come with us.
I love it when I see that he understands a relationship or a new concept. Obi is his friend and I love the bond they are building.

This blog will mostly be about my son who has autism. But from time to time I will write about me. A lot of times I find it helpful to write down my feelings when I don't have anyone to talk to.
