Sorry...but had to tell other people who understand how exciting this (seemingly small milestone) is for us Blush

Today my son who was diagnosed with autism a few months ago and is non verbal started pointing at things. He has always pointed at things in books....but has now started pointing at things he wants or finds interesting...in the air!!! GrinGrin

Yay!! Ok...going to go now.... Grin

My daughter (nearly 10) has learned to co-ordinate her feet enough to ride a scooter. That's 7 years of determined practice paying off. I don't have other people I can tell cos their kids have been whizzing about since nursery age.
