Parent update 6/23/2011

We did make it to the Mission in San Juan Bautista on Sunday. We just happened to catch the end of their Mass. They had Aztec dancers drumming - Brendan really seemed to enjoy it. He indicated that he wants to go back to the Mission to attend the Latin Mass (which he has been to twice previously). The have a wonderful choir which he loves to listen too.

Over the last four days, he has been doing fine. No major outburst to report. He did tell me the other night while he was swinging in his gym to "sit" and then "down". First time he has ever put these two words together pretty clearly.

Today, we gave him another dose of his remedy. We always ask him if he wants it and take his lead. He did well in ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) therapy and was very patient waiting for the therapist to leave so that he could watch his video. He does NOT like to wait. So, I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't protest while waiting. Overall, he had a very good day.

Tomorrow we are taking him to see a Developmental Optometrist. He has never had a formal eye exam. It is very difficult to find professionals who you feel can work with your child with patience, understanding and, most importantly, experience. It will be interesting to see how he does since he will be tested and asked questions, neither of which he likes to do unless he has known the person for awhile. Stay tuned...
