Looked like a pretty good day (with a couple of "meltdowns" during the day), Day 113. Daily sheet showed Josh participated in even more things at school, was working well with the adults.
I was cleaning out a box from the garage (still have some in there that haven't even been opened since moving in a year ago!) and found an exercise program I had picked up at a special needs seminar. Program was designed for folks on the autism spectrum, ADHD, depression, and other issues. So, I took it out and Josh and I were exercising. I kept having to get him up off the couch but, in fact, he did it! Lots of crossing the midline stuff, marching, stretching, some complicated things (the two folks on the DVD both are on the spectrum) - Josh really likes the stretching. Curiously, the DVD says that calf stretching is good for speech development - hhhmm... wonder why? And crossing the midline (touching right hand to left knee while marching, etc.) is really good for a lot of things. So, if I can get Josh up and moving to that DVD maybe three times a week to start, it will be really good for both of us!
Into Day 114 - at SEDOM and swimming! Josh was talking about the swimming as he was falling asleep last night - sure hope they use the chair in the shower room again as that really made him feel safer last time!
