"OPEN"

Cale playing at the fountain in the mall

Today marked a huge accomplishment for my sweet little boy, Cale!  We have been working diligently on teaching him sign language to eliminate some of the frustration of not being able to communicate.  Like I've mentioned before, he knows only a handful: "please", "tired", and "all done".  Today, as he was trying unsuccessfully to open the baby wipes case, his speech therapist helped him to sign the word for "open".  After helping him only a few times he was able to do it all by himself, unprovoked!  This is quite monumental because that sign requires bringing your hands together and that is something Cale hates to do and rarely ever does.  My faith has been restored and I'm confident that if he can learn to do this SO quickly, he will eventually learn everything he wants to!  Way to go, Cale - Mommy is so proud!!!
