First Tae Kwon Do Lesson

I am so proud of Jonathan. Even though I feel that we are "stuck" again, he is actually developing quite nicely. He is now sooo interested in doing all kinds of activities. He is thirsty for new things to do. He is always asking "what comes next". Or says "I want to do something new today". He wants to help me cook all the time. He helped put the Christmas tree up with great enthusiasm. And today, his grandmother took him to a try-out Tae Kwon Do class, and he did awesome. Came home so excited about it and told me that he is going on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

He has become rather self-sufficient. He gets his own snacks at home. He wanted scrambled eggs tonight, so he grabbed the 2-step stool, opened the frig, grabbed the eggs, took the pan out and told me that he wanted eggs and wanted to hep make them. He serves his own juice. He now even goes to the bathroom and closes the door when he is doing number 2. I know these are normal behaviors from a 5-year old. But since we didn't witness the development of these behaviors like we are with Vanessa, all of this is new and exciting. And they seem to be better controlled as time goes by.

His receptive language has gotten much much much better. Faster than his expressive language. We need to work hard on that area. His apraxia is very pronounced. However, most people can understand when he wants something or simply wants to communicate.
