First Day Home

First things first- Boston's scavenger hunt!  I bought this harness while in Panama because I always think about it and forget about it, but I saw a kid walking with one so we stopped at this store and they had one.  It may come in handy(like right now when they wanted to make sure he followed along on the scavenger hunt ha ha) but it may not.  He likes to randomly fall to the ground if he doesn't want to do something so that may make it hard, but we will test it out!  At the airport we used it and he decided he wanted to crawl a lot.  I felt like I was being watched before that, but "walking your dog/child" you are REALLY being watched, ha ha.

Dylan was quick to get back to his routine of DESTROYING THE HOUSE!  He headed right down stairs and tore the couch apart and took all his food down there.  He made 100 trips up and down the stairs each time finding something new to bring.  Our downstairs literally looked like Christmas morning in a matter of minutes!  But.... I kept hearing "Mamamamama" throughout the day!  When he would say it, it was directed to me!  Usually when he wanted something or wanted me to come with him.  I will take it.

Brandon kept trying to get him to say "Daddy" but he was always greeted with one of Dylan's sweet kisses which he does when he wants something!  As much as it melts my heart when he does this, I know we needed to stop it because he can't just be giving out all sorts of kisses to who knows who when he wants something, ha ha!

Grandpa Jack stopped by and I told Dylan to tell him Hi and so he waved to him.  While I was talking to my Dad Dylan kept wanting me to go get things for him.  So I kept saying can you say Hi Grandpa and at one point he may have muttered the word "Grandpa."  Grandpa Rick and Grandma Lori stopped by after they went to see Trever's house that he just fixed up and sold and Rick said at one point he grabbed his hat and thought he may have said, "my hat."  Of course, we are looking for these words and so we may be hearing what we want, but lets hope this becomes a reality because speech and communication is all I really want, the rest is and will be a added bonus!  I am still trying to keep his school in the dark just so that we do have that unbiased opinion and see if they find any improvement that amazes them not knowing what route we are taking.  So now we are at the waiting game and the roller coaster ride will continue for the next 6-8 months and then we will see where to go from there!
