Bobby's World

Bobby's World

Lazy days of summer

Not much going on in Bobby's world lately, just same old summer routine.  Swimming, playing outside, swimming, going to summer school, swimming, puzzles and other work, swimming, jumping on indoor trampoline, swimming, watching Elmo, swimming, ipad....did I mention swimming??


Funny thing about autism, many kids have good and bad days.  Bobby had a great day today.  He was able to pull out the words that he wanted to say so much easier today.  When that happens, his behavior is much better.  Every time he has a really good day, it makes me realize how much his negative behaviors are linked to frustration over not being able to verbalize what he wants to say.  He still only labels words (has about 25 that he uses consistently) and has a long way to go before sentences.  He said "pancakes" at breakfast time and I generally make him toast and an apple...it would have to put you in a better mood when you get to actually eat what you want.  Other days he can't even make himself put a pancake in his mouth.  So I get to try to figure it all out every day.


I took some random pictures around the yard while Bobby was playing...


My view of Bobby while I was laying in the yard.  Before long, he really will be this big.

In a couple of weeks, we are going to have tons of peaches.

Black Eyed Susans are starting to bloom.

Yellow flowers make me happy.

Going to bed makes me even happier, so Good Night!!!
