Happy Saturday and INSANE new scores on ATEC!!

Arianna seems to have the 'pee' part of the potty pretty much down and racking up the coins in her piggy bank 98% of the time. She is so proud of herself each and every time and so am I. :O) Working on the second part of the potty will take a while but won't rush her just yet although I'm planting the seed of even MORE money for Disney when she's willing to give that a try.

HBOT went well again today...our Chipmunk Squeakqual DVD is getting worn out so maybe we can find another show to watch for the remainder of our sessions. Today was session #10 and because Arianna is doing so well it was recommended to take the ATEC (autism evaluation) test again. The lower the number the better. Arianna's starting score at the beginning was a 68...speech was an 8, Sociability was a 10, Sensory was an 18 and Health was a 32.
Today's score was an astounding 19!!! YES a 19! Speech this time is a 6, Sociability is a 1, Sensory is a 9 and Health is a 3. I'm FLOORED and I knew her score would improve with the potty training part but THIS much improvement is far beyond what I would've imagined. Once Arianna can do the #2 part on the potty her health score should be down to a 1 if not a Zero. I am SOOO proud of how well she's done these couple of weeks!

Time to get some things caught up around our place and maybe go visit with some friends for a while later on. New Internet stick just arrived this afternoon so we should be able to update regularly again. Have a great weekend!
