We went to Boston this past weekend to see some friends I met online. They also have a child with specialneeds, so the bond between us was instantaneous. Jake has really mastered using his chopsticks; he even picks up peas with them. The workers at a Chinese restaurant we went to have dinner at, thought it was hilarious just how focused he was while trying to eat with chopsticks. It is almost Christmas; Jake’s speech therapists had a party at the office yesterday. At first, I hesitated bring him there because I knew he gets very overwhelmed in crowded settings like that. But I decide to bring him anyways even just for a short time. Melanie, Jake’s new respite worker came with us and she was a great help. Jake was overwhelmed at first, so we took him to a small room just us, and he had his pizza there and read some books. Then we went into the party room where he saw all the kids were coloring, and he did some coloring as well. Shortly after that, Santa arrived! HO HO HO! Jake got presents from his speech therapists and a goody bag from Santa.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours. We wish 2007 will bring more progress, health and good fortune to Jake and all the children like him.
