OK, this doesn't sound much of a brag, but if you've been following my posts about how Matt's been doing recently, it is.

You know I said, that my aim for this year, is for Matt to look at me out the window and wave goodbye - just like the other kids do.

Well today, with a bit of cajoling from the other children, he saw me out of the window, looked me right in the eye, and smiled! I was so chuffed and happy. (The wave may come one day, but who knows.) And I love that little guy's smiles!

It's the little things that make such a difference.

That's big Helen! Way to go Matt! Waving will be next. Austin still doesn't wave consistantly...lol. Usually it's after the we have turned around and left...then he waves. LOL
Give the big guy a hug from us.

What a great sign - Very Happy

. Just remember your little guy's personality is inside there somewhere. Hopefully you will get answers and he will be able to express himself again on a regular basis.
