Jayden has been making progress on all fronts lately! We are all impressed with his receptive language - he seems to be understanding so much more! This afternoon I asked him to give me a kiss and he did! He also knows several words involved with getting dressed (shoes, socks, feet, toes) and will help get dressed...and undressed!! He will completely take off his own shoes, socks, and shirt (even when we are out!). His expressive language is still slow coming but he knows how to get a point across regardless and I still think he is saying more words than we understand. I recently bought a few signing time videos and would like to try actively teaching more signs.

- Gets in his chair or sits down when asked
