Progress!

I had Matthew's IEP this morning and I am amazed at how far he has come in the school year.  He is getting ready to transition from a small intimate Early Childhood classroom to a 4K program next year and I think it will be really good for him.  His speech is really starting to come at a faster pace and we were laughing about some of the quirky things he says or does.  He currently has an obsession with rainbows and draws them a lot. He was reciting the book "What Makes a Rainbow?"  while playing with a rainbow toy in the classroom during our meeting.  Recently, he has decided that he likes to talk during the really quiet times at church when we meet as a congregation.  I told him to whisper the other Sunday and he starting singing the Mysterious Whisper line from They Might Be Giants song "Fingertips" and then proceeded to sing other funny lines like "Please pass the milk, please" and "Are you the guy who hit me in the eye?"  Last Sunday I was worried it was going to be Bugs Bunny lines.  He likes saying "What's up doc?"  "You're despicable" Roadrunner's "Meep Meep" and sings Figaro from the episode where Bugs Bunny is driving the opera singer crazy.  We have also had him say "Miss me, miss me, now you've gotta kiss me" and come up and give you a kiss.  So sweet!  Our little man is growing up and though it's frustrating at times, it is so good to see the progress!
