Friday Night!

Delyn is spending the night at his Mama & Granddaddy's tonight.  We've worked really hard with his shapes this past week, and I can tell that he's learning!  We're playing/learning with the toy where you put the differently shaped blocks thru the correct holes into a container.  He loves to be applauded when he gets one right.  I bought him a puzzle the other day, to see if I can get him excited about learning how to put the pieces together, but he hasn't shown much interest in it. 

Our storytimes are going well!  We read for about 20-25 minutes each night right before his bedtime.  He has really taken to it, and sits next to me on the couch while I read.  He's good until around the 15 minute mark, and then he wants to flip the pages himself. :)  His new thing now is watching our recording of Nickelodeon's Mega Music Fest that was on this past Monday.  It was really cute.  His favorite songs are Wyclef Jean and Dora's "La Bamba" duet (we dance together during that one!), and the song from Team Umizoomi called "Snack Patterns."  He dances and laughs and screams when those come on.  Nothing makes you feel better than watching your kid have such a good time, and knowing that he wants you right there with him joining in the fun.  When he turns 16, I'm guessing that won't happen anymore, huh? Ha! 

So our appointment for his ABR Test was moved up, and I'm so relieved.  If they can't get any results from this test (meaning if the sedative doesn't work for him and he doesn't go to sleep), we'll have to schedule another test.  The next one has to be done in the Operating Room, and Delyn will have to be put under.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this test on Thursday is successful.  I'll post as soon as I can after the testing is complete!  I'm reading some pretty good books dealing with the subject of Autism, so I'll post those titles in the next couple of days.  I've also found some really informative websites.  Everyone have a great weekend!
