He is more present...

It's funny but I'm noticing little things about how he looks up when we walk in the room; says hello to people when they walk in or he walks in (unprompted), comments unsolicited on what we are saying or doing...wonderful, wonderful things. But with the good comes...uh...more work. He is more easily bored and gets edgy if left to his own devices - even with the computer - for too long. He NEEDS interaction with us. He needs help playing. He wants to tell you things - but with 40% intelligibility with speech but the thoughts and ideas of a 6 year old...it gets tricky sometimes --- especially considering he becomes easily frustrated these days when he can't get his point across. But it's all moving in the right direction...
