Oh my god

I don’t have a lot of time to write right now, but I really want to give an awesome update.

OK, it probably was a fluke and it probably will not happen again for a long long time, but tonight Jake did something he has never done before. While sitting at the kitchen table, Jake had his communicate device in front of him, first he asked to play with his letter puzzle, ok fine, I gave it to him. After a few minutes of playing, he started to get up from his chair, so I asked him “where are you going?” Using his device he said “go bathroom.” I said “where?” He said “bathroom.” My husband then proceeded to take him to the bathroom, guess what happened next?? He actually peed in the toilet. (He pees in the toilet all the time, but has never actually asked to go to the bathroom, see that is where the big deal of the year is!) OK, most likely it was all a coincident, but still we praised him and praised him and praised him some more for communicating! Later I went upstairs to feed Max, sometimes later my husband brought Jake upstairs, and said “guess where Jake said he wanted to go?” I said “where?” my husband said “he said upstairs.” OK again, OMG!

I will write more next week because I have something great about Jake I need to update, but I don’t have time right now.

Here is a picture of Max from today that I just have to share, ok I admit, Jake is getting the short end of the stick when it comes to getting pictures taken. But Max is just a baby.....
