I can’t believe it’s been three days since I last wrote! Good things are happening here. Ben’s seizures are actually pretty good, Praise God! No more big ones, and the smaller ones are infrequent right now. We’ve seen more and more language. Yesterday we were doing a cooking project and he said “I’m helping cook!” something I never modeled for him. He now talks constantly, though we generally recognize that he is reciting Arthur books. We don’t care, he is practicing language, and it is a pre-reading skill, so we’ll see where it goes.
We’ve been keeping busy with my friend Julie who has been here from out of town, and I’ve been preparing for Nate’s 15th birthday tomorrow. As of today, he is enrolled in Drivers Ed. My, how the time flies! We’re having a little family party tonight, and in a couple of weeks Nate wants to put together an airsoft war.
Dave took this video of Ben chatting his ear off this morning. No, you can’t understand a word, but he’s talking!
