BEFORE THERAPY/DIAGNOSIS.
Me: E, you can't hit your sister. That was very unkind. You have hurt her!
E: *SCREAM* I DON'T WANT TO! I DON'T WANT TO! NO!! I DON'T WANT TO. *rant, rant and more ranting* - insert meltdown right here.
AFTER:
Me: E, you can't hit your sister. That was very unkind. You have hurt her!
E: *Looks at me, very upset - doesn't utter a word, then runs to his bedroom to calm himself down*
This is a miracle!!
He knows he's about to blow his top, he doesn't want to, so he goes to his room, sulks and sooks for a bit, calms down and then comes out.
He also said a COMPLETE sentence. The words were in the correct order. It was a long sentence - and he said it RIGHT!! That speech therapist is a genius!! He's getting it!!! :)
His kindy teachers have commented on his changes as well - he now initiates conversation, he listens, he asks appropriate questions. This is an area he has struggled in - conversation. He's getting it!! :) I've noticed this at home too.
It's so good to see all the effort being put into him actually working - and making him a happier little man!!

Oh Skip, that's ABSOLUTELY AWESOME news that E is getting somewhere.
It's amazing isn't it how different they become once they can get the right words out.
Here's to more and more progress from your gorgeous boy.

That is just wonderful. I can imagine what a relief this is for you as well. What a lovely picture of your son!
