Bit through his lip.......

.
 Noah has taught the younger two all those lovely boy things ....  every little boy learns somewhere.   Those things every mother wants to prolong as long as possible......

............ using the finger guns ...... or any other straight object that can be imagined into one...

..................... mimicing the moves of all those stupid shows on TV that teach little kids it's cool to go up to someone and kick them, punch them.... and put them into a choke hold .......

Teaching an Autistic child the "choke hold" thing ...... it's not cool....  they tend to think it's funny to choke anyone ... including the cat and dog .......

Oye ....

Anyway ....... Gremlin Kaedyn and Gremlin Nathan were horsing around in the bedroom.  Kaedyn was on the phone with Nana at the time, and my mom said that Kaedyn had some maniacal laughter...... and then........ Nathan starts screaming.....  Kaedyn told Nana something about Nathan trying to tickle him........

Regardless..... Nathan came out to me ..... with his poor little face all bloody.  At first I thought he might have bit his lip or something....... but I didn't know....

HE BIT THROUGH HIS LIP .....

 So I took him to the ER right away ... just incase it needed stitched or they could glue it...

 (below) Pushing his tongue against it...

 (above) Watching Toy Story and having to have the speaker right by him....  (below) ... being wrapped up like a taco so they could clean it out and glue it ...

 Cleaning it out .......

 Gluing it.......

 All fixed ...  bandaid on his face.... heehee...

 They gave him some antibiotics and he's doing well now.   This happened yesterday (the 18th of December) and here he is today .... (the 19th)

Nathan's I.E.P....

.

 Nathan's I.E.P. meeting went well.  He has made some progress ...  his vocab has improved a little but his speech therapist.  They said that he's interacting with the other kids a little bit ... however, he still prefers to play alone or with Kaedyn.  However, there is some interest there.  They said he loves to sit in the reading corner and just read.   They have noticed his sensory issues coming into play but not as often as they were at the beginning of the school year.  Over all - he's doing very well.   He has his issues, but he's an amazing kid - and they ALWAYS miss him when he isn't there.

I was super excited when they handed me his communication book!!  We're not having an easy time using it...  it's HUGE and it's a little hard to follow :(   But I'm excited...

I have to say that his most ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing to do is to sit in the swing....

 He and Kaedyn play very well together :)

And here he is in his favorite reading spot :)
