SuperJesse!

Jesse has been learning about emotions and how to read facial expressions and body language that communicate emotions. Emotions and identifiying them can be quite a challenge for autistic folks but Jesse is doing well. He has had happy, sad and mad down pat for a while now. Those three basics feelings he learned easily but some of the others like excited, proud, frustrated, etc have been tough for him. Today however he had a breakthrough in understanding those more complicated emotions. Jess asked to watch TV and when I told him "no" he said, "I'm disappointed mom!" Bravo Jess!

Josh says to me (his mom) "Hey, I like you lady!"

Joshua's Quote of the Day

Josh was singing, "I looove yoooou!" I said thank you. He said, "I don't love you I'm just singing." Then he proceeded to sing, "I love Mom, I love Dad and my Jesse."

Tooth Fairy Alert!

Here's an update on the last blog "It's Broke Dad". Jesse has lost his first tooth! It just came out on it's own easily. Jess brought it to John, little blood, no tears. We would put a quarter under his pillow tonight but he thrashes around so much when he sleeps the quarter would never be found! This event has taken John and I totally off guard. We didn't realize it could happen this soon! I guess he is 5 years old and that is the right age for these things to start happening. We just weren't prepared, not that you really have to be for a tooth......................anyway..............

It's broke, dad.

So Jesse and Joshua are playing very nicely together this morning while I have my coffee. They are laughing and pretending and Jesse comes in and starts talking about how his tooth is broke and that dad needs to fix it. I did a quick check of his mouth for the normal bloody lip etc and did not see anything so I assumed he was playing dentist or something with Josh.

10 minutes later Jesse is back asking me to fix his tooth. What a bone head dad I am! He has his first loose tooth! My baby all grows up! (Swingers).
