JT is going to be 4 next month.....and he is a BIG boy. So I think people often expect more out of him than they get.
When we're out and about and he is saying his "hi's" to everyone in sight (I did put it on his IEP to work on social appropriateness....one to two 'hi's' per person is sufficent)
Sometimes people ask "what's your name?" or "how old are you?" and JT's response back is "hi!"
This weekend we have finally mastered a response to "what's your name?" It's a "j" with a low quiet serious voice and a "T" with a loud excited voice. And of course followed up by claps. He signs a "j" before his claps, and he is throwing in a jump too. It is pretty darn cute, I think the cutest part is how PROUD he is of himself!

Awww, how cute!! Allisa - Jason has started doing something similar - he is getting all confused over Thank You and You're Welcome. He has been so good at saying Thank You, but I guess he has heard us respond You're Welcome for so long that he must have thought we were trying to correct him because now he is saying You're Welcome in place of Thank You.

That is soooo cute. It too us the longest time to teach Adam what his name was when asked. Now he says " Adum Wite" for Adam Wright. When asked how old he is, he is 8 but is still stuck on being 6. LOL. When we tell him No Adam is eight he looks at us and says :No way 6 OK.:LOL
