This seems so simple and weird that it is kind of a big deal, but I know they have been working on this for a while at school, so they were so excited that it finally happened! Last year Dylan rarely even picked up a pencil/crayon/whatever and was not interested in coloring nor did it keep his attention at all. This year they have been excited that he will sit down and scribble! They have been working on imitation and so when I opened up his backpack and saw all these papers I was a bit confused:
 |
| I am guessing the ones with the stickers were just for fun and fine motor skills practice |
Then I got to this one:
 |
| "After several prompted trials Dylan did these independently" |
At first I thought, "Oh, ok." And then it sunk in that he actually drew a straight line and didn't just scribble like he usually does. Although this note does not "show" the teachers excitement just the fact that they put this in his backpack for me to see demonstrates the excitement that went into this simple little line!
As you can tell I am an emotional roller coaster on this journey. Somedays I feel like we are clear at the bottom on a long ride up and then other times we are shooting down at a fast speed with many twists and turns in between. Today, I am beyond excited at this little task and couldn't be more proud of the little guy!
