Here are some cute video's of Ethan I thought I'd add.
Every friday Lisa, a speech therapist, comes to help Ethan with his communication. I really like her, and Ethan seems to really like her also. This last week Ethan has really had a jump in words he is able to sign and today when Lisa came he was so good, and I was so proud of him. He was even starting to put words together to form sentences! For example, Lisa had this cat toy that she brought for the first time, and she was able to get Ethan to sign "more cat" when he wanted to play with it. He even was willing to share it with her, so she would take it, say cat, and then he would sign "more cat" and we would cheer and hand it back to him. It's really cute when he signs cat, because he puts his hand up to his cheek and gets this really cute smile on his face. These are the words that Ethan can now sign on his own without much help: drink, please, more, dog, cat, up, banana, ball, babies, shoes, movie, book, and quack. It's a very nice feeling to see him communicating, and see that he is learning to differenciate between words. I'm very proud.

You should be proud! This is great news!
I'm so happy to hear how well he is doing. Ethan is such a cute kid.
I'm so happy he is improving. As long as he keeps improving he'll get there with speech.
Yeah generators are a good investment if you live in a place that is likely to loose power for more than a day. We were thoroughly grateful that Dave's parents have one. There is no way we could afford one.
