Well Kate came over and Ryan and all of us were talking.. He told her he liked snicker doodle cookies at Whole foods. ...this was a new food item which earlier this morning I had him read the sign at the store vs. going in and grabbing the cookie..and then spell the word to me . Next I showed him how to use the tissue paper and take a cookie from the glass shelf. He remember how to spell the word hours later as we sat talking to Kate..impressive!!
Well he said to Kate: I XTREMELY WANT TO SPEAK RYAN SORRY HE POINTS ..
Kate being her totally sweet self said .. that's OK Ryan I like that you point.. Ryan got really silly tried to say something else then ran away........it was fun and so cool.. Ryan really felt OK for that moment about pointing .. like I said to Ryan we are working on speaking and pointing ..it is all coming along so well..
We love Kate!!

Spelling a question and describing the car!
Ashley always says.. your funny Mom you spell everything now.......... Well, I was talking to Paul and Ryan and started spelling.. a word...... and thought. Ryan are you even paying attention to me..... So I spelled the following sentence to him NOT saying the words.. spelling the words.. Letter by letter I spelled this:
F-L-O-W-E-R- O-N- T-A-B-L-E- -I-S-W-H-A-T-C-O-L-O-R?
Ryan spells on board YELLOW....................He is correct! He is listening to me spelling multiple words comprehending the words the question and then answering!!
So blown away.... I was thinking. About sentences and I said.you know what Ryan I think you need to write higher level sentences like people do in college.. how about that!!!! So, I explained when I was in college my teachers wanted us to use more description when writing . using adjectives for example. Explained what an adjective was then took his plastic toy cat he was holding and said, I could create a sentence about this cat like this: THIS IS A CAT or I could use adjectives and describe the cat this way: THIS IS A GRAY CAT WITH WHITE STRIPES AND DARK SLANTED EYES.
So next I grabbed a toy car out of toy basket and said Ryan make a sentences describing this car. This is the awesome sentence he wrote.. the car had all those colors on it....
................. THIS IS A PURPLE WHITE GREEN TOY CAR.
Wow............. I am so impressed and all this took place this morning sitting on the floor in the morning room by the cool air duct..........his favorite place:) Today is a great day!!

Our Kids ARE hearing us............
Sharing this to let other parents understand... our kids hear and are affected by what we say.
Paul and I were discussing a problem and Paul when he is upset can take on this tone...... but Ryan is very aware when he is upset about something. . Paul brought up past situations of problem X .. well Ryan said the following but before that he starting pacing and talking/ sounds in DAD's face...trying to tell us to stop.
So Paul got the board and Paul and Ryan were talking ..Ryan spelled
DAD STOP YELLING
Ryan was standing up...and getting tired so we said lets talk sitting down.. then I took over the board and Ryan spelled:
PLEASE RYAN REALLY WANTS EITHER YOU STOP REMEMBERING
RYAN UPSET XTREMELY
STOP YELLING
Then Paul said I am sorry Ryan when I get upset I tend to speak louder and I am sorry buddy. Ryan consoles Paul here we go
WAS VERY SORRY TO ( we said do you mean to as in also..he spelled YES.)
SOMETIMES RYAN SO MAD TO
SO VERY HARD TO REACH OUT
then we talked about that and then I said anything else you want to tell us
LOVE YOU.....
My son .. I he is so kind and so understanding.. I want to be more like him
