(HBOT 35) Very Loving

Jonathan was very loving today. When I took him to the daycare in the morning, he asked me for a hug. Then he told me that he loved me. That was very sweet. The ABA therapist left a note saying that Jonathan had one of the best days ever yesterday. When she arrived, he was not only playing with other kids but he was the leader of the play. That is a very exciting comment.

When I arrived to pick him up, he was sitting in the middle of a pool of kids all watching a TV cartoon movie. He did not even realize that I arrived until the teacher pointed it out. He came running to me and gave me a big hug and didn't want to let go. Very loving.

I got him ready for the chamber and drove him to the site. I got sick, so Daddy met us there so he could go in with Jonathan. I didn't want to spread my germs inside the chamber.

HBOT Day 35

When we arrived, Daddy was waiting for us. Daddy told me that the dive went well, uneventful. When they got home, I had dinner ready. Jonathan wanted to play with my laptop and I told him that he had to sit at the table to eat. This turned into a full conversation and Jonathan used very appropriate sentences. Now that he is speaking more words within a sentence, he sounds like he is crying. I don't know why. His tone. I kept telling him not to cry, and the last time I said it he said "I'm not crying mommy, I am talking to daddy". That is when I realized that to him he is not crying, it is the way he speaks now. But for us he sounds like he is whining/almost crying. I also noticed that since he is adding more words to the sentences, he is speaking slower. I assume this is normal development that occurs at about 3 years of age (because we see it with Vanessa), but it is strange to see it in Jonathan.

He was very affectionate today.
