Re: I'm so Very Thrilled!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Chris!

I was waiting for more warmer nights before night time trainning. That way he can just go beddy byes with just undies on. He won't get so cold if he wets in the summer nights and he wont have pajammas to be soiled. Just sheets.

are you in any other , there is a in another group I'm in who reminds me of you.

Hurray for Davey!! P.S. Are you going to or have you tried to potty train him at night? My son isn't either, but eventually, I will try. I have been waiting for a while, though, because like you I don't want to jinx the progress he has already made.

n - No, I'm not in any other but I am in a maelstrom

list. Please don't ask me what a john maelstrom is. I haven't a clue. But

the group is focused on early readers on the spectrum. Chris

n - Yes, I went to the Akron ASA meeting. I really enjoyed it. I learned a bit about parent mentoring. I think in the future we will have different topics of discussion which will be very useful, things like treatment options and school issues. Tuesday night, during question and answer, there were a ton of questions on the school and IEPs, probably because of the time of year. I also ran into a high school classmate of mine whose child may have autism! That was nice. There was a good number of people at the meeting, but there also was room for more.
