First was his parent-teacher conference. His teacher, Miss Amy, had nothing but nice things to say about him. He even had a Kindergarten report card! He's making so much progress and seems to really enjoy learning. (I guess he struggles with "graphs". Yes, graphs. They are actually taking data and graphing it in Kindergarten! Geometry 101) He even likes helping the other kids and is a nurturer (which is unusual for an Autistic child). Nothing makes a mom happier or more proud than to hear nice things about her son! Good job, Buddy!
Next was his first T-ball game. Last year the team was all over the field and quite clumsy. It's amazing the difference a year can make. He has great coaches that are very supportive and positive towards all of the boys. Colin's attention span isn't the greatest, but he's really improved on focusing in on what's happening on the field. Although it is T-ball, they are pitching to the kids, and Colin got a nice hit into right field. His coach was so proud of his game tonight, he gave him the game ball. WOO HOO! GO #11!
Colin informed me before the game that 30 of his Care Bear friends would be coming to the game. Colin seems to attribute his great game to the Care Bears. After the game, our family, and probably all of the Care Bears, went to Johnny Rocket's to celebrate. The waitress made a funny face out of ketchup into a bowl for the kids. Colin really enjoyed smiling back and talking to his-it was quite entertaining.
