... to me. I can't lie. I am 36 today and have absolutely no idea how I feel about that number. Oh well...
Jimmy is talking more and more. He is being quite echolalic in his approach to language. It is a common phase in language development, but one that autistic children often get stuck in. He like to learn new words, read, and spell favorites. He has a Leap Pad writing desk that teaches children to write using three letter words. Everytime you get something right, it says either "good job" or "great job." He is also learning greetings like "Hi" and "Goodbye." When he incorporates them, however, it can get a little weird.
Jimmy likes the bathtub, so much so that the only way to get him out of it is to drain the water. Those moments, however, when the water is flowing out, he gets very sad. He'll look at the drain and say "Goodbye water. Great job!"
You have to laugh.
