Lost in a Whirlwind

Well, I'm sure I've been takin off everyone's reading lists since I have hit a dead silence for over a month. Well, we are still alive & things are going well. DS is starting to put together some 'spontaneous' 2 word sentences.... Today I heard 'Careful Sissy' in the correct context, 'NoNo Sissy', and 'More Puzzle'. These are breakthroughs since for the most part all 2+ word sentances are prompted. However, at the same time he is struggling to bring his wants/needs/thoughts out in spontaneous speech, he has picked up the pace on reading. I promise we don't beat it in him, he just loves it. I have been treated to 'Are you my Mommy' on several occasions recently. The WHOLE thing. Complete with running all the way to me to point at a word if he doesn't recognize it. He was also sitting behind me eating one day as I was emailing & he was reading my email back to me. LOL Anyway, he's doing great.... our SPL evaluation showed some great improvements. The biggest one I can remember was a question regarding sorting 'foods/clothes'. He did it perfect & we've only been working on it for a few weeks... I didn't even know he was THAT good at it. Hope you are all well. I can't promise life will slow down enough to allow blogging until 2009 is upon us - but in the meantime - if you need a unique gift.... visit my new shop online!! I handpaint glasses, mugs, candy jars, candle holders etc. There's still a few days to ship if you're interested. VineyardGifts.etsy.com

hey! I just sent you an email. Yeah they change a lot right around this time. That's amazing that he's reading - I had heard that some kids just teach themselves. I wonder what education holds in store for him. I hear that children like him get bored very easy because they're so advanced in certain areas. Anyway, sorry for rambling, and best wishes for the holidays...
