A few random Joel happenings:
Last week Joel was over with Peggy, our respite care worker. They were watching a movie and Joel came up and grabbed her hand. He then said "Spooky....spooky." Peggy was concerned that he was scared of something and said "Oh, ok, what's spooky? What has you scared?" He looked right in her eyes and said "I'm... POOPY." And he was. This is groundbreaking, earth shattering progress here, if we can get this kid to verbalize we may finally be able to potty train!
Yesterday Joel went up to Ike, a friend at school. He tapped Ike on the back, and said "Hello, friend!". First time we have ever really seen him initiate contact with another kid that didn't involve him stealing their toys..
His current favorite app on my phone is a Winnie the Pooh one that he wouldn't even play with for the longest time. Something must have changed, because the other day in the car he just asked "What's a bear to do?" That's the name of the story that Pooh is reading in the app. Such a cute boy.
