Not so great day, great night
3rd night Epsom Salt Bath

Speech Eval at school – went terribly. Nicholas did not participate.
(I just wanted to update this and add that this was the understatement of the world. Nicholas fought, kicked and screamed the ENTIRE time we were in the speech therapist’s classroom. A room full of toys and all he wanted to do was tug on the door and leave. This was brutal for all of us.)

Joanne (DI) came – he was okay with her. He did not climb on top of me to escape her.

Took him for a haircut – screamed the whole time. No body thrashing like the last time.

Went to boardwalk and beach – tolerated sand for a little while.

IN bath, he was responding to his name 75% of the time.

Many words – head, eyes, nose, ears, mouth – while identifying
said “cup”

3rd night with new bedtime routine. Was easy tonight – he knew what to expect. Bath, dressed, brushed teeth, bed

handed me toothbrush and said “all done”

We got him a little table and chair set – he loves it!
