SELF HELP SKILLS

We have been working on Landen being able to dress and undress his self.He has MASTERED getting his pants off and putting them on.The shirt is a different story he can take it off but has not figured out how to put in on.We keep plucking at this i know he will master it too.His shoes he cannot take off yet but is really good at taking his socks off...Not able to put them on yet.I am proud of what he is learning.

He knows how to brush his teeth but still don't know how to put toothpaste on the toothbrush.We are working on this.He has mastered washing his hands with soap!Now to get him to dry them on the hand towel.He likes to shower and will wash his self with some assistance.He still wont wash his hair and we are working on that as well.

Potty training is another issue we just cant seem to get.He does not like pull ups which i would prefer because that is a great skill also Taking on an off .I plan on really working hard this summer with Potty training.

He now picks his toys up without being told...This was a issue that took us along time to get him to do.He puts his blanket on his bed like he is trying to make it.I didn't teach him that he did that one on his own.He has gotten better with the Please and thank yous and i love hearing him use them.He has discovered he likes his room tidy i am happy for this.

He also has decided he DON'T need a sip cup no more he is a big boy now and can drink from a cup without spilling YEAHHHH!I am beyond PROUD of my son.He has come so far in the 4 1/2 yrs of coming home to us.

When he came home to us he was functioning at a 9 month old at the age of 41/2 yrs.He could not feed himself..He did allot of things that a 9 month old would do.The doctors here were up in the air as to what he would learn.He has shown them up in all ways.They never thought he would talk.The neurologist really got excited when Landen talked to him.

My son is an amazing little man with a happy soul! I love him for who he is and for his incredible spirit.He always has a smile and a giggle! He is funny with one heck of a personality.I cant Imagine our life without this little boy.I am so BLESSED to be his Mommy.

I LOVE YOU LANDEN!
