A great day

I had a great day with Dalin yesterday. First off, he was just in a really good mood. He goes to preschool in the morning & afternoon, and comes home for an hour in between for lunch. We had a really fun lunch playing games and tickling. He was constantly laughing. I love his laugh! We played hide and seek. We hid under the blankets of the bed every time. Even though he knew exactly where I was hiding, he was so good at pretending he didn't know where I was. Few kids with Autism have good "pretend play" skills. That is something we have really worked on with Dalin the last year and he has made great strides. He also loves it when I pretend to be asleep, and he yells, "wake up" and then I jump up, grab him and tickle him. Anyways, we had a wonderful time. Also, Dalin stayed dry all day and then pooped on the toilet last night! I rewarded him with a bath right before bed – 2nd time for the day (he loves the water). He was in such a good mood all day and when he went to bed. What a fabulous day!
