Quickie

Zach said "car seat" yesterday after I told Sophia to go get into the car on the way to school.

Later that evening he was playing wildly with his sister (which I totally love) and he banged his knee pretty good. He came over to me and put my hand on his knee and pouted. I told him "oh no Zach - boo boo, let me kiss and make better." He sat in my lap for a moment while I kissed his knee and then went on to run around the house with his sister like a bunch of banshees. This was so great - it was so normal and he showed he was hurt. Bizarre that this would make me happy but it is a relief to know that he can express to me hurt and I can comfort him and let him get on with things. This is what a mother needs to be able to do for a child, feel like they can comfort a child who needs it and know when a child needs comfort.

First team meeting with the therapists at our house tomorrow night. Go Zach!

Go Zach! Make your family proud and leave this enslavement of the mind behind you. Anna and I are rooting for you!
