Life isn't a matter of milestones but moments

Today I was getting Tyler ready for school and have realized how many small stepping stones we have had in the last month. I am amazed at how much he has done in such a short time.

  • Rides the bus with no crying. ( In fact today he was running down the isle and the bus driver was holding him back to wait for the aide to help him)
  • Using more "words" and seems to understand the concept of "conversing" more.
  • Has started watching "big boy" cartoons instead of just little baby ones
  • He is walking 90 percent of the time. He gets reminded to walk and he does with out complaint.
  • He expresses his wants.
  • Stays at school all three hours
  • Doesn't take naps any more
  • Is now going to therapy alone. No more mom!
He has his meltdown moments and sometimes we both get frustrated from lack of being able to figure out what each other expects but he is so smart and understands so much more than we always give credit. What a sweet kid!
