Fall update

Since the last post Elliott has gone to school and so have I.  He goes every day for a full day and I think he really likes it!  His daily notes that he comes home with say that he is sitting better during storytime (which used to be really hard for him), he helps Ms. Stephie do the hand puppets and strokes her face to make her feel better when she makes a sad face during a song.  He likes to be her helper.  He is not doing very well with potty at school because he isn't as verbal and doesn't tell her when he has to go but sometimes lately he has, so it might turn around soon, we'll see.  Other things his teachers say are that he has a friend Mitchell who likes him alot, he likes to wait for his turn on the swing and will check back frequently to see if it's his turn yet, and he always independently chooses to take a turn at the easel.  He comes home with multiple artworks every day!

I can't keep track because he will repeat most any word he finds interesting, but some words he uses regularly lately (not necessarily new but ones that are in his "favorite" rotation) are: cracker (cack-uh!), moon, box (bah-ock!),  book (buh-kah!), out, where's dad?, pumpkin

He also recognizes people better lately, and will point out everyone on photos.  ie, "where's nana?" and he will point at the individual person and say"nana!"
