Pa's Pumpkin Patch fun!!

Cody's green light from school!

Cody throwing the frisbee!

This week we took a trip to Pa's Pumpkin patch. Other than it was very windy and there was some ash in the air from the fires, we had a lot of fun. We were surprised to see how many rides Cody would go on this year. We tried to get him on the big slide and we had two close calls, but as soon as he started going up he decided he had changed his mind. We'll give it another year and maybe he'll be ready then. He had a lot of fun picking out his own pumpkin this year.

Another huge accomplishment for the week is Cody got a green light at school on Tuesday. He hasn't received one of these since the first week of school. Getting a green light means he was very well behaved that day. He didn't push, hit or throw which is a huge accomplishment for him. We've been trying to work very hard with him on using his words since he's seems to lean towards being physical with kids because he was/is speech delayed and didn't know how to communicate well with words when people get too close, or if they have toys that he wants to play with. (not to make excuses of course)We tried to show him how happy we were and proud of him and he was pretty proud of himself. He gets to bring a toy to share with his class and gets to be the leader of the day on Thursday. He really can be such a loving child, I just wish that he would project that towards other kids a little bit more.

We have also introduced a new sport to Cody. We've been playing a lot of frisbee. He actually can throw it pretty well. But he does tend to hit cars once in awhile...our cars of course...but we have lots of fun.
