This morning Max had his playgroup and he did soooo good! He is getting more and more used to the group and his personality is shining through. Lots of smiles for everyone and a few Max attacks for me! His sign teacher thinks he is paying attention to our signs...who knows? But I love hearing praise on Mr. Max! And he participated again in snack time by sucking on a watermelon. He then bit off a chunk with his tooth and almost choked himself on it. Oops!
Then we tried him in the "sensory tub"...a baby pool filled with beans. He really liked it, which was VERY encouraging! A few of the kiddos got in with him and he tolerated everything really well. I worked with him on sitting a lot too and he is making wonderful progress!
So proud of my lil' man!!! :)

We had a great time at playgroup today too. I loved watching the Max attacks and it really does seem like he is paying attention to the songs! Hooray Max. And you failed to mention, that Max sat by himself for a few seconds while in the play pool!~ I was SOOOO excited to see that.
Amy, you are amazing and I'm so excited about his progress. Max is an amazing boy and I love that Dylan and I get to witness the special bond you have with him, your dedication, and his wonderful personality! See you in a few weeks when playgroup resumes.
Kristy and Dylan
