Another Day of ABA

It's been a long day. I started out by making eggs in a basket for breakfast, then getting ready for Jayon's therapy. Today was one of the more difficult ones regarding therapy. The therapist made a mistake in the appontment time and was an hour and a half late. Because of that Jayson was just too tired to participate in very much of anything. He wound up falling asleep 20 minutes into the session. On the plus side, it gave me plenty of time to discuss some of my concerns for Jayson with Sophia. I appreciated her willingness to stay around and talk to me even though Jayson was sleeping. I was concerned about not receiving parent training because I wanted to know that the work I do with him at home myself is the right thing to do, so she offered to give me a half hour of parent training on Wednesday. I am glad for that because I will learn the same techniques the threapists are using.

Other than that... I think I am sick. My throat is killing me. I am either sick or suffering a terrible side effect of the off gassing process tempurpedic mattresses go through. The smell is supposed to go away in a couple of days but I laid awake last night just thinking of all the potentially hazardous chemicals I was inhaling all night. I didn't get much sleep.

What else? Mary's birthday is tomorrow. We are stopping by for a bit to drop off her gift, which I am so excited about. We got her a bumbo to help with her PT and I can't wait to give it to her. There will be Aunt Joyce's cake, which is fantastic!

Other than that, I just got Jayson into bed. We read three stories tonight because after the first two he said "book!". How can I say no to that, especially when it is the first time he's ever said it! Now he is sleeping soundly and I probably should be too, except that I am going to try to call Debbie back since I missed her call earlier...

Jayson's words today: Chicken, juice, apple, book, car. help, milk, please, snack (Yay!!)
