Today at ABA therapy he blew us all out of the water!!!! Katie, his therapist, was trying to get him to say "tummy". She points to his stomach and says what is this Lucas? Well he has told her tummy about a million times- and several times today before this- but he was holding out. Then........ he started spelling it out loud- T,...... T,......A,......M,.......M,........Y! He was trying to spell tummy out loud- that was a first! He amazes me every single day- I can't wait until that little brain-mouth connection really fires- we are all going to be amazed.
So for the record, he is 1.) Reading at about a Kinder./1st grade level,
2.) He is (and has been) spelling words like Cat, Dog, Washington DC, and Lucas for about oh 1.5 years, 3.) He is writing with a pencil, crayon, etc., words like Wonder, Lucas, Marcus, Jill, mommy, the letter W all the time!, etc., 4.) Now he is verbally spelling out words like tummy, and 5.) last but NOT least he is only 3 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well he will be 4 in about a month- but still he is only 3 years old (Or as he says it "I am three ears cold"). He is wonderful and precious beyond belief- we are so very proud of him.
He is so smart too- I think he is learning how to work the ladies- me and Katie and whoever female he comes across. He is slapping a lot lately when he is frustrated, and he is learning quickly that is not working out so well- so he has moved to the opposite end of the spectrum- kill them with kindness. He was all over Katie in therapy today and kept wanting to ride the horsey on her knee- he was all over that to avoid work I presume..... smart little cookie.
