He has a BFF!!!

Sam has a neighborhood friend that is a year and a half older than he is. They have played together now and again but certainly not on a regular basis. 3 days ago, she came by to see if he could play. Of course, I was doing cartwheels in my mind! They went from our house to her house and back and forth for about 2 hours. I could not have been more delighted! All of a sudden, Sam looked at her and said "your shoes", meaning get your shoes, it is time for you to go home. She was nice about it and said see ya later!

The next day, they played again. She even invited him to eat pizza with her at her house. My husband called just to make sure he was being ok. They said he didn't want to go home. So funny!

This has been a daily occurance! Today, he got off of the bus and she was walking toward our house. When he noticed her, he put his arms out in front of him and started running to her. They embraced like long lost friends. It was so cute to watch!

This is so exciting!

Before Christmas, he was having a VERY difficult time because of being overstimulated. We increased his medicine just a bit. I think it has made all the difference in the world with him. He has had 3 "great days" at school in a row! That is a record for him.

Way to go Sam!!! I think I can do this!!! Today is a good day!
