Sawyer just being a kid

 Sawyer had his first real conversation the other day with his therapist Carli. Over lunch he told her "vacation". She said yes Sawyer you are right I went on a vacation. I swam in a pool on my vacation and Sawyer said "water". After that he began to tell her about his weekend. He said "trick or treat", "stroller". Letting her know that he went trick or treating in his stroller. He went on to tell her about the "spin wheel" game he played at the school carnival. Then he talked about seeing his friend "Dakota". He told her that he got a "hair cut" and finished with saying "Carli", "baby". Recognizing that she is pregnant. If he happen to tell these things to a random person they may not understand, but we knew exactly what he was communicating. I am in awe when I think of all the things he is understanding in the world around him.

 Sawyer has an obsession with little girls and at Grandma's house there is plenty of them. This is our way of keeping him away from them. I put him in and he said "I don't like this", "rude", "boring".

 Sawyer stands at the end of the driveway all by himself waiting for the bus. I watch out the door and go out when it comes to help him get on.

We are now upgrading to a 60 icon per page PODD Compass app. I finally got it customized enough that I feel like I can start modeling. This is Sawyer exploring with his current communication 20 icon per page and his new PODD Compass app. He is loving it already!
