Smart Cookie

This week I received emails from two of Connor's therapists and they brought tears of joy to my eyes so I had to share them.  His Vision Therapist emailed to say:

"Today I went to see Connor at Carrie's house and using flashcards he identified numbers 1-10 and common letters.  He could identify them randomly when given a choice of three in front of him through eye gaze and reaching.  He could easily do this with numbers when in order 1-10.  He also knew some of the teen numbers.  I really think Connor is a VERY smart little boy."

And then his Special Education Teacher, who was copied on the email, replied:

"He has done really well with sorting and patterning and lots of age appropriate tasks :)...I will brainstorm on how we can continue to challenge him.  He is a smart cookie!"

So proud of our little man!  He continues to amaze me in so many ways.  Whether it's your kid with special needs or your typical kid or yourself, it feels so good to have others recognize and affirm what you have thought to be true. We have believed Connor was smart, funny and compassionate for quite a while, but having professionals say it means so much.  Continued prayers and hope for further learning and breakthroughs!
