Greetings from North Carolina

Well, I typed in a whole post only to have it deleted when I hit the save button. uugghh I am currently writing this post from the Bath public library. (How many libraries do you know of where they allow dogs in - in fact the librarian has dog biscuits in her desk. That is the sort of town Bath is.) Access to the internet is limited around here; there are no hot spots, in fact, there aren't any lukewarm ones either. :) OK, so little old Bath North Carolina, NC's oldest town and former playground to the notorious Blackbeard the Pirate may not have the latest tech gadgets around. But I will tell you what it does have - as many ABA's in a 50 mile radius as Syraucse. sad, sad, sad It also has a Montessori school that is growing so fast that they are building a whole new facility. Seems like they are pretty with it to me.

I have been staying in touch with Zach's two ABA therapists asking them how to manage through a few particular situations. Even on vacation, we can't let our guard down. Believe it or not, it was the therapists who actually contacted us to see how things are going. That is the sort of dedications we need and makes me know we are doing the right thing. I just love them!

Anyhow, with limited internet access I haven't been able to post much, although I am logging some of our events on our laptop which I hope to upload at some point when we get back home.

But there is one thing I just could not wait to post about - because it just has me tickled. So this morning, my MIL (mother-in-law) made playdate with a neighbor's granddaughter for Sophia. They came down to pick her up, and I told Zach to say bye to Sophie to which he said:
"Bye Sophie!" Sophie didn't hear him and went off skipping with her new little friend. I held back the tears, since these people would probably think I was nuts since they don't know our situation. However, just like Sophie skipping off, I felt like I could have done the same. My heart was certainly skipping. He said his sister's name today. Awesome.
