Such early intervention! Incredible!
We were lucky that Alex's day care pointed his delays out to us! We saw the speech delay, but they were the ones who noticed the social differences.
At five years old, I'm still looking for signs in Demetri. I think a part of me always will.
I totally get that!
Social cues are so difficult to teach to Ariana. She understands what the expressions mean, she just doesn't know how to apply them to conversations.
If we use an expression and Alex doesn't get it, he'll say, "I told you I don't like expressions!"
Where is mrsksomeday's kleenex smilie when you need it? Such a big boy thing to say...![]()
I know! So big! I needed mrsk's kleenex box too!
Awwww...Amy thank you so much for sharing your story!!! Your boys are amazing, as are you!!!!!
Thanks Jen! You're too sweet!

Thanks, Amy, I love reading about the boys... especially all the strides they are making, both in school and at home.
I really should keep a box of tissues on this desk!!(happy tears)

I asked Zachary if he wanted a kissing hand this morning. (Anyone familiar with the book... mom gives little raccoon a kiss on his hand to keep with him all day - Zach & I used to do that last year...) He told me he didn't need it.

Thank you for sharing your story! It is really wonderful to hear of how well both the boys are doing and how far they have come.
I'm very curious about this number game....![]()
You're welcome!

Amy, thank you for sharing about your boys! I need some tissues now, too. lol! They are both adorable.
Thanks for reading!! I love that we are all doing this PTR together so we can put all of our stories in one place!
