1) The other day when the supports coordinator came to the house, Zoey mimicked me by shaking his hand and saying "nice to meet you". Normally she hides from new people or tells them "no" if they try to talk to her. Later when my sister came over, Zoey ran up to her, shook her hand, and said "nice to meet you". So obviously we need to work on when that social interaction is needed. LOL!
2) On the way to JAM on Wednesday, Zoey was able to tell me all of her friends' names from JAM. She needed a little prompting on the one little girl. She was also very adamant that she include herself in the list. We are continuing to reinforce this since it's one of her JAM goals.
3) She was able to correctly tell me 3 things she did in JAM and then she was able to tell Scott several hours after it happened. This is a pretty big accomplishment for her. Questions are very difficult for her. That was one of the big things that made me certain she had ASD even when everyone else was saying she was fine. Carrying on a conversation with Zoey and having her tell you about her day has really never happened until this week. So that's pretty awesome. Still a LONG ways to go in that areas, but big step in the right direction.
4) Over the past couple of weeks Zoey has really started to show more interest in other kids and has been hugging them when she gets to daycare and when she leaves. On Monday at JAM, she got excited and said another child's name when he got there. It's really giving me hope that with work, she will be able to have age appropriate friendships.
