Intense.

Max is half way through his first intensive block at blueballoon. He starts his day with Therapeutic Listening, has a morning of Music Camp, and then an afternoon of IBI therapy. No nap unless he sneaks one in during his car ride to and fro. It's hard on him. It's hard on us. I really believe that he is going to come out the other side of this with a tonne of progress. But damn, it's a roller coaster. Today he sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in its entirety. Then he came home and threw a king hell tantrum that left me exhausted, and the entire family super stressed out. When Scott got home, Max walked into the bathroom, tried to pull down his underwear on his own, then sat on his potty, and peed. My baby boy is working so hard, he blows me away. I can't wait to see the progress that is bubbling below the surface. I know this is all worth it, we just have to keep the faith.  I believe in Max, we are going to get him through this.

  4. going to the pottee, pulling down pants with the intent to pee: thats 10 million steps right there. It is hard work putting all the pieces together tie them in with how you feel and when. Its just hard. GOod for you Max.
