Making good on the potty training.......

Well we finally took Sam bowling:-)  That is something we promised Sam a year ago - when he finally decided to be completely potty trained (which he has been for a while now - except for 'accidents') we would take him bowling.  Nasya had just as much fun - they were very good and had a blast. 

Sam is loving preschool!!!  We had our IEP meeting a week ago - went very well and I had an opportunity to ask several questions.  Sounds like he is a perfect little angel - GO FIGURE!!  Actually, (a word Sam says often....) kids with AS respond VERY well to structure and ridgid schedules - so I really wasnt' worried about this.  The bus has been the BEST choice - it is one of the things that entices him to get dressed/ready - and gives him something to anticipate - it also helps than John the driver is sooo zippy and happy in the morning:-)  God is in control!  K - back to the meeting - SO - my question is WHEN DOES TRANSFERENCE happen?  When will he figure out that what he learns in the classroom - needs to be practiced or 'transferred' to real life???  I know there is not near the structure at home and in reality - and I'm sure things will fall in to place over time.  Patience my dear, patience.

The only 'frustration' that the teacher has seen was when Sam was playing with another little boy and Sam yelled "Hey, you're not sharing!" - well the boy didn't speak English and that was part of the frustration.  So of course the interpreter had to intervene and all was well.  Sam is the one who keeps the class on schedule - he'll say:  "Okay, hurry with snacks because we have to get on the bus!" 

NO sleep the last two nights - Sam has had a fever and body aches (crabbiness of course) but no other symptoms.  Two nights ago daddy was out of town and Sam woke up almost EVERY hour to rock - and good luck getting him to go back to bed, he'd say:  "ONE MORE TIME, ONE MORE TIME!!"  I was soooo tired the next day.......Anyway, he is better now:-)
