Day 49
Day 49
Josiah’s sixteen step plan to get from the back seat to the driver’s seat, to rip down the rear view mirror so he won’t get busted for wiggling free from his seat belt next time! Who says this kid isn’t smart?
Day 48
Day 48
Without words, Josiah communicates loud and clear sometimes. Last week, he let his amazing caregiver and me know he was not interested in going to a movie. He did not even want to get out of the van, truth be told. However, once given a direction, it’s very important we follow through so Josiah learns compliance and doesn’t try to use inappropriate behaviors to get what he wants.
Since we told Josiah to get out of the van, we had to make sure he did. Believe me, it took quite a bit of effort, met with an equal amount of resistance. Please understand, the point here is not to force Josiah to do what has been requested, but rather to ensure he complies. If it means waiting him out, that’s what we do. In this case, we waited a long time.

Day 47
This is definitely a different way to play with a balloon. I love the way he props one leg up with the other. Check out that grip his toes have on the ribbon, so his hands can be free to play unencumbered. Can you say Monkey Toes? And we used to think Josiah didn’t know how to play. This kid just invents his own games.
