Forgive the lapse of time.
I have been side-tracked.
I am going to do better.
We've had some more firsts.
2 weeks ago, while Dan was fixing Mary's hair, she said, "It hurts".
She hasn't said it since, so either she doesn't want to, or we are doing her hair better.
Last week, Rachel was trying to get Mary to watch a movie with her.
Mary said, "No! Shooo!"
Yay! More words.
(we'll take what we can get!)
Some other good things are that she is initiating a few activities, like;
getting on the computer,
picking up and looking at books,
re-organizing stacks of papers,
singing (monotone, of course).
A BIGGIE for me was that a few days ago, she actually got clean clothes out of the closet to wear, instead of getting the old stuff out of the hamper. It's been a loonnngg time since she went to the closet.
And, on Sunday, she re-arranged her hair dillies. By herself!!
These are all behaviors that she hasn't been doing!
Plus, most days, she's been giggly and happy.
Way to go, Mary!!
