Five years old
Jai turned 5 years old this month. We had a small party for him, and for the first time, he seemed excited as we unwrapped the presents and blew out the candles. He was especially excited by a new tractor toy, which he has been playing with every day since.
These last few weeks, he has been showering us with smiles and laughter, and playing in a much more interactive way… especially with car/truck/tractor/helicopter toys, and with different types of balls.
He’s also paying a lot more attention to his augmented communication device, by watching and concentrating, though not by using the keyboard to express himself (not yet at least).
And paying much closer attention to the real world… trains, trucks, and buses, dogs and birds.
Not sure if this will translate to being school ready, but we will visit the school and have a proper think about it.
One thing I am sure of… these last few weeks of Jai’s joy and laughter and energy fills me with happiness, no matter what other worries I have. Happy birthday, Jai, :)
