[bubblagirl]

my ds has been given the part of a donkey in his nativity play at pre school

and he got invited for a play date with nt child at pre school this has never happened to us and my ds genuinly seems to like this little boy, he has his first friend

hooray

and i passed my stage 1 and 2 in makaton today and got my certificate

also my ds has been given 1-1 at pre schoola s well as specialist teacher keeping an eye on things every few weeks she has head of senco coming out to help give pre school tips on placement for my ds to keep his attention etc and his eye contact is becoming more when talking he actually said i wug you nunny while looking at me the other day i could of cried

and his learnt how to do some sounds in his words now not many gog is now gob but he can now say words ebding in t so improving so well im so happy for him

ebding is ending lol

sorry wanted to share as im so proud of him he really is trying when SALT asks him to do things and he really is showing interest on wanting to play and can as long as theres an adult prompting as soon as adult moves away he doesnt know what to do anymore but the fact he wants to is so good such a change from few months ago

'i wug you nunny' - can't imagine hearing anything better!

that's wonderful, well done you, and little bubblaboy!!

oh well done to you and ds bubblagirl

you deserve some good days like this

now practise your 'it is totally normal to go on a playdate' face

lol thanks guys i love the i wug you over the i love you any day its just so cute

l;ooking forward to play date just hope his in a sociable mood that day if not the dad does know bubbla boy has autism so im sure he wont take offence

and as for him being a donkey its so cute lol

well done m for being the king how wonderful

we have a how many sleeps chart from e bay and has calander and lots of major event stick on pices so we can see how many sleeps we have until then best buy that was as he always trhinks its all happening now bless him

thanks all needed to share some good news for a change xx

That is lovely, brought a tear to my eye, awww so sweet 'wug you nunny', little cutie
Great progress! Shows how well our children do with the right kind of support.
Well done bubbla nunny, and bubbla boy!

To add to the good news my 3.8 year old ds is doing well on stage 1 pecs, and has learnt alot more words. He also made a tower out of duplo bricks today, and then called it a rocket, and did a count down to go with it, was amazing. Still can't quite believe what a huge leap he has made.So another proud moment to add to the thread. Our boys are doing so well!
P.S sorry for hijack bubbla, but couldn't resist joining in.

anyone can feel free to share good news on my thread i dont mind really happy for you too deeja so great when you see them doing something so out of character for them

makes me feel theres a light at the end of our tunnel and he'll do just fine

i know he'll need support for next few yrs and not sure how long but at least we are seeing improvement and progress being made

big hugs to your little man x

deeja when is your ds b day? my ds is april 26th

your pic of ds is so cute couldnt help but be nosey lol x

Hi, bubbla, he is much cuter than he looks in pics. He is 4 on March 18th, so quite close to your little one, who is also extremely cute I must say.
Hugs to you little one!

tonnes of reasons to be cheerful - sounds like lots of things coming together at the same time

thanks ragged we had so long where he has not got over colds etc and he really regresses so felt we were stuck there so releived to see his come through it and making progress however when he normally regresses i wonder if he really just has too much information and just doesnt know what to do with it as always seems to take some leap when he comes back if its ok to word it like like that obviously no offence met but dont know how to say it

deeja thank you very much he is adoreable great little joker and likes to tease even if it is just in what he likes shaopes numbers etc its nice to see that personality under there

your little ones b day is 4 days before mine not much older than my ds what a cold day today we have some snow xx

awh i so know what you mean my daughter is autistic just started p1 there i september

she is playing the part of an angel in her christmas play

and also she was invited to a birthday party and went.

great news bet ur well chuffed!!

that's an interesting idea, bubbla - that he seems to regress a little just before he makes a leap forward. i think it sounds very possible. when you think back to when they were babies, everything seemed to go a bit haywire before a developmental leap (sleep/ feeding, etc) so could be very similar with our kids. i'm going to look out for this with ds.

ive always noticed it with ds as he was only 2 words in sept and then lost the use of them couldnt understand what he was saying it was just jumbled then a few weeks later i heard i cant find it and there he was all of a sudden with a use of more than 2 words

its like he processes inforamtion until his cinfident to use it and then all of a sudden his back always scares me though as always worry it wont come back its so hard to have some communication then lose it all of the time but as i say i notice something else he can do that he couldnt before even if its only a small thing

his full of cold at the moment so cant really understand him his words are not making much sence but i know to expect this when unwell

hope he gets well soon.

i was trying on a skirt today in a shop and ds said to me "no, don't like it. put trousers back on." !!!

it's one of the longest things he has ever said - he must have really hated that skirt!!!

That is so wonderful!

My DD (3 next week) picked up a saucepan lid and used it like a steering wheel pretending to drive this week! Her first real attempt at imaginative play. I cried.

these steps are so exciting. i can't believe my dd's maternity leave is coming to an end soon, so i'm going to miss a lot of them

WOW well done little Bubbla!!
I have to say you did well not to cry when he said "I wug you nunny" it must have just melted your heart

well done to hunnybunny's littlew angel how sweet, and well done to her on having a b day invite and for attending

lou that is great its so good when they do something like that my ds we have bought the love me chou chou doll so he gets to llok after dolly and feed her

caught him feeding my bunny hot water bottle cover his juice the other day so playing with the doll has helped

graciefer it melts my heart when he says it but his time he actually held eye contact and siad it instead of a passing comment made it really did make me want to cry but i didnt want to confuse him or he may not say it again lol

well today his pre school teacher has siad sdhes sorting the donkey costume out and i have to take it home to let ds wear it and get used to it his not one to dress up but we really want him to be part of the nativity play she said he keeps walking over to the manger and she may be seen guiding him back but if he gets upset she's going to let him get off the stage as it may well be too overwhelming

but as she said its typical for children this age anyway
