And so is the birth of Gabe's little brother. We are all very excited. I have a scheduled c-section for December 30th. I am very nervous about having a c-section but I know I can get through it. We keep doing social stories with Gabe about the birth of his baby brother. I let him pick out some pacifiers for the baby and he helped pick a bottle brush. Matt and I are hoping this little baby doesn't rock Gabe's world too much. We are expecting some set backs, but hoping not too many. My biggest fear is he will regress in the potty area. He is doing pretty good with the potty and I don't want to see that go backwards.
Gabe's behvior has been a little rocky the past few weeks. But I am sure I have been snappy with him too. The whole house has been sick off and on. Poor Gabe has been sick the longest. We might even need a trip to the Dr. to get him some antibiotics. So, I am cutting him some slack in the behavior dept. But only a little slack :-)
Gabe recently learned how to count to 20. He skips a few numbers here and there and not all the numbers are understandable to the unfamiliar ear, but it is a big step for him. He wanted nothing to do with counting past 3 for a long time. And would only count 1,2,3,3,2,1 and would get mad if you made him count higher.
He is becoming more flexable. Although, he is still very ridgid in most things. Transitioning is often hell on earth. He has managed to memorize a lot more of the TV shows he watches. So now we hear..."It's puzzle time" and "no more no less" and the moon sand song. (Thanks for that one B!!!)
