Thought this was funny and really .. this level of interaction is HUGE for Gabe:
We went swimming at the local pool yesterday and there were a couple of girls who came up to me with the usual "Are you Gabe's mom?" I thought, oh great Gabe is at the snack bar orderng something non verbally lol.
But he was waiting for me very patiently and then when the girls hung around to get to know Gabe a little better he SHARED his snack (this is sooooo big for Gabe !) and interacted with them when I taught them how to sign a sentence for him.
Yup sometimes I realize he is growing up in nice ways lol or else he just has an eye for the ladies. He IS all boy after all :-0

I was just LOL when I read your post! Way to go Gabe! One of the things that Ethan has taught me is that he's willing to do LOTS of things when I provide a reward the HE is interested in, ROTFL!
Obviously Gabe is motivated by GIRLS (and ice cream), for Ethan it is still potato chips! Now I know what to look forward to!

Hey, maybe the pool should be Gabes hangout for socialization! Neat. Is a Gabe a good swimmer? Laney has taken lessons for years and she just can't swim! CAUTION STEREOTYPE AHEAD I always heard kids with Ds were great swimmers. But, then Laney hasn't followed the stereotype for anything else but the stubborn issue so I guess that is why she can't swim LOL. It is great to hear about Gabe here Deb. We are still struggling with our MR WAIVER issues. We have had one visit since school was out, and that was because I finally called to complain. Now it has been 2 more weeks. I'm about ready to just forget it.
