Wyatt has continued to make AWESOME progress lately. I used to keep track and count all of his new words, but after 100 I lost track! Here is a video of a work session we did at home. He does 23 hours of therapy each week, not all this structured, but it's hard to describe to people how much time, energy, and effort you put in to get just the smallest amount of progress. I had no appreciation for the milestones Saige met as a toddler, for each and every word she said, and for her developmental progress. The progress just came...it's of course very different with Wyatt, but we truly rejoice with each new skill he gains!
In this work session we use a color block schedule to identify which task is next (he matches the color block to the work box), then he is working on matching the colored pegs to the correct slot on the peg board. He needed help with the first two, but then gets the last three on his own. I love that he tried to say all the colors too. I think he said each one except yellow.

I am fascinated by this peek into your life--whew! What a lot of work, but what joy to see your boy learning in ways that even a decade ago would have been considered impossible! May you both continue to get the most out of life. :)
Wyatt has the sweetest face, I especially loved the bubble video. He looked so happy about the bubbles and I could hear him clearly! Awesome!
I love these videos you post of Wyatt's progress. It's so heart-warming. I'm sure it's due to an enormous amount of effort and work on your part, but how REWARDING to watch him learn and Grow!
You are doing such a great job with him and all the kids! It is heart-warming to see all the progress he is making!
He is awesome! Great work Wyatt!
Go Wyatt! Congrats to all of you. I know you all work so hard and it is definitely paying off. Keep up the good work!
