Work Work Work!

We've done a lot of work year...Speech and more speech,behavioral therapy, OT and more OT, PT, Food therapy...What it boils down to it hours of therapy a week with sometimes no break in the days he's in school, going right from school to therapy..its totally crazyness for a kid to have to do this in the first place right? But I know in my heart every penny,every minute of every day spent on therapy is totally worth it. Cory was approached by an older man yesterday (he's always had a bigger problem with old people) the man was asking him what grade he was in and he said "My name is Cory..first grade..I'm 6 years old." totally AWESOME to think that last year IF he would say anything at all to anybody he would just repeat "My name is Cory" over and over again or just walk away when someone asked him a question :) My mother-in-law is very sick in the hospital and last week when we left the hospital he frowned, walk up to my husband and said "Grandma is very sick." and nodded his head yes up and down until my husband agreed with him....when we went to the park with skt group the other day Cory said to Jake the teen in are group "You are just a BIG KID!" smiling really big ...I think he was trying to figure out why Jake is adult size and acts younger then Cory...I thought it was AWESOME that Cory understands Jake and is trying to understand whats going on with his Grandma :) Yaahh so proud for my baby this year working so hard to understand the world around him and winning :)
