30 days of autism: day 13

This is one of the small things that make my day...dinner on the deck! Javin is already halfway through dinner and I haven't even put my burger on my plate yet! :) Happy Spring! 

30 days of autism: day 12

I didn't have my phone with me at the bus stop so I took this boring picture after the fact. Javin had a blast this morning counting and playing with the worms. He even touched one, squealed and found it funny when the worm would curl up so he continued to touch it. This is a big step for someone who doesn't like slimy stuff! He has always had difficulty with "stuff on his hands".

Picture is fuzzy because I had to take it incognito. He will refuse to leave time-out because he isn't ready. Everything is on his terms!

30 days of autism: day 10

He doesn't have the coordination yet to pump the swing by himself but he loves being on the swings.

30 days of autism: day 9

THIS is a good 70% of my time...filling out paperwork. Good times, good times.

30 days of autism: day 8

Sunshine and warm temps make for a happy boy!

30 days of autism: day 7

We love going to the nusery. I have him touch the plants for a sensory experience (Lambs Ear is the best-soooo soft!) and Javin helps Daddy @inchulk pull the wagon full of plants for "heavy work". This engages his muscles which helps re-center him. We live and breathe therapy. 

Sat all the way in the back of the van today. "How ya doin' back there?" "What? My name is Javin. My name not 'back there'!!" Duly noted Javin. Lol!
