These days Elliott loves anything that he does on his own and that makes him feel useful. He refuses to let me feed him most of the time now of course. I suppose he's way too old to be fed but sometimes it's just so messy that I wish he would let me feed him that hot soup!
Some things he likes to help with are putting dishes away, throwing trash away, wiping the table, turning off his toys and putting them away, and helping put his shoes and coat on. Of course these are all followed by claps of self-admiration!
Right now I am working on my second case study out of 2 that we have to work on and prepare to answer unknown questions about for our final. The first case featured schizophrenia and this case focuses on issues with multiple sclerosis. I have been working since 10 am and I have had a few hours break throughout the day but not much! I can hear Elliott saying "hi" and Jared is saying "hi" back, to which he responds, "hi". So far they have both said "hi" to each other at least 3 times in a row : )
10 minutes later : Jared is outside taking the trash to the curb and I can hear Elliott first whining downstairs, and then I hear little feet running back and forth into the living room looking for him out the windows
