JUICE!

So yesterday our boy requested juice! Now for most people not a huge deal, for us, BIG DAY! Porter has only ever requested freezies before and to be honest we were thinking that he was generalizing freezies for everything. He can label lots of other things, in fact he'll attempt to say just about anything these days if we hold it back or say "what's this"? But requesting has been limited to Welch's freezies. And I have cut those back to two freezies a day because the child would seriously eat them all day long!

So when Porter went to the kitchen , looked at the fridge and said "juice" with the sweetest little voice ever, I thought I just might burst wide open with pride. Needless to say , there was a big celebration in our kitchen. And of course, we got the juice ASAP!

We have seen so much progress in the past month. We have really been working hard with him and we also have hired someone to do IBI therapy with him 2 days a week. I'm scared to mention her name in case someone scoops her up from me, but she's amazing. In fact, if I could, I would fold her up and put her in my pocket so I could carry her around all day. We only have her 3 hours a week because she has a full time job, but I really think it's making a difference. She is helping him, and us. Anyway, I'll talk more about that in a future post but I just had to share our great news!


 Hope everyone is having a great weekend, the weather is fantastic!
