I am happy to report that Liberty just made some huge strides forward - last night and this morning.
Poor little guy has been sick most of this week that he has been off from school for their Fall Break. But, suddenly, last night he did two puzzles that he had had no interest in before. One was number 0 through 10, the other one was a more complicated one of pictures of tools. These puzzles have 10 to 12 pieces.
This morning, he could do ALL of his puzzles he has had for the last two years. Perfectly. With only one or two prompts when he could not get the piece turned around properly.
I could not believe it. What happened? We were never really "working" on puzzles since he was so easily frustrated or not interested. I know he does some puzzles at school. But it has always been hard for him to maintain attention. He is so easily distracted, he would hold a puzzle piece in his hand and then look away at something else. Or, he would grab my hand to put the puzzle piece in its proper position. I always had to say, "Look at it." He needed lots of assistance.
Not this morning. He took each puzzle piece, looked at it, looked at the puzzle board and put the pieces in one after the other, perfectly, as if he had done them a million times. His father and I observed in hushed, total amazement over our coffee cups.
Something is working somewhere; I don't know how, but it encourages us, once again, to Keep on Keeping On with what we are doing!

Love those moments. Only you and your spouse really "get" what is going on, and you feel like you're going to burst with happiness.
Go, Liberty, go!
Well good for you. Like you say, we follow the same path, again and again, and again.
Best wishes
Kathy,
When you see that, it really tells us that a lot of connections are either being made or are activated, integrated with others. I am really thrilled about this. Well, I guess you were delievered a powerful gift at Thanksgiving.
I concur: Go, Lib, you go!!
Love, Aunt Susan
