Good Job, Josh

One thing we have learned through the past year and a half with Josh is that many things that seem "normal" development-wise with other children are major milestones for us. For the past few weeks, Josh has consistently gotten praise from his teachers and therapists for his behavior, and we couldn't be more pleased. I sometimes wish we had the luxury of "normal" development, but I would have to say our situation does make good progress reports that much better.

Here's the note Josh brought home today from a therapist who works with him in his classroom:

"Josh is sitting during group time in the middle of the carpet and staying quiet!!! He also raised his hand and answered Ms. Barbee's question correctly! Very exciting to see Josh's progress."

We hope there's more good news to come.

Yay, Josh!! Sitting still can be some seriously hard work! People are proud of you :).

So, has all of that sitting still at school affected how well he sits still for haircuts? Or is diagonal the new straight? Hee hee.
