Reece update

A couple things I wanted to note that Reece has done that are new for him:

The other day Mema was putting his pajamas on him after I had changed him about a half an hour earlier. When she was done he grabbed her hand and put it on the wipes. She gave him a wipe and he started wiping his bottom over his clothes. He was telling her she forgot to change him! He was laying where we usually change him downstairs so he figured we had forgotten.

This morning when he woke up I said "Good morning!" and he tried to say it back to me. It was really close too-anyone could tell what it was he was trying to say. He is getting so much better with his approximations but he still has a lot of sounds and sound combinations he can't make.

Yesterday I was reading books to the little guys and he sat and listened. Usually he doesn't have the patience for this although he loves flashcards because they move quickly. I was reading an older Golden Books of "The Three Little Pigs" and he sat and really paid attention. He even held onto the book when I was done. And this was after we read some Dr Seuss books so he was really attentive for a while.

One more thing is he comes when I call him. There was a time when I could stand next to him and call his name and he would act as though he couldn't hear me. We did the standard hearing test when he was two but he hears just fine. All the red flags and it took a visit to the ENT for his tonsills to get someone to acknowlege that something was really wrong. But now he comes when I call him even if he is upstairs and I am downstairs. He can be in another room and I call him and he comes. I smile to myself every time he does this because it was heart breaking to call your child from a foot away and have them not be able to respond.
