It's been a little while since I last posted. Things have just gotten really busy for me. Logan is doing good. He still isn't potty trained yet, although I'm still hopeful. He's doing well in school. His teachers praise him on how well he does with his goals.
One issue that we seem to be having with him is repetative motions. Shaking his hands, and twitching of his eyes seems to be the focal points. It's something we are watching closely to see if there is another issue that would be associated with autism.
The school is having their grand opening in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to that. They are having a chocolate festival, games for the kids and sibilings and a whole bunch of things. That weekend will be a fun weekend.

Progress
In two weeks of being full time at Step by Step, Logan has made some great progress. We get daily progress reports on his development, and they are very positive. He's only had one bad day so far, and that was yesterday. He didn't want to stand in line, didn't want to sit when asked to, but from all accounts, wasn't lashing out. While most parents (read: those without autistic children) would say that was bad. I don't. I don't condone it, but if he's not lashing out physically, then that's good and it's progress. I've learned to appreciate the baby steps he makes.
The next big step in his development is potty training. That's going to be the biggest challenge I think he's had in his life so far, bar the autism factor. And of all the weeks to start will be the week of the 4th. Step by Step is closed that week. Generally, they are closed for two weeks beginning that week for vacation, but only one week this year and it's not really a vacation. They will be moving into their new location (which is much closer than where they are now). Not only will I get fireworks on the 3rd and 4th, but every other day because of trying to potty train Logan. I don't see him learning it completely in one week, but I'd like to see some sort of progress in that area. I just have to remember, baby steps....
