Lets Get Social Update !

My Summer agenda was to help William become more social. I think after yesterdays amazement we are getting some where with this. I've been taking William almost everywhere when I go off. We have visited almost all of the family except for a few People .Each visit has not all been easy. He has held on to Daddy for dear life w/ a couple of them. Others were just him & I went and those went really well to my surprise.

Friday evening was a shock to me. We go to this little store near our house and I usually take William in with me so he can pick out his own Candy. It's under new management so the people are completely different. William looked carefully down each Isle. Then he set his sights on a pack of Pop tarts. He grabbed them and we were headed for the register. The owner/Casher was awaiting our arrival. William had never seen him before. The owner/ cashier had not met William yet either. So he says "Hey buddy.. You got a Pop tart ? William looked up at him with a Big smile on his face and says.. "A Pop tart !... It's blue.!." ...I was in AHHH ! First of all that was a strange person he had never met. Second he talked to this guy when he asked him a question and answered it all on his own. WOW ! But that's not all....

Saturday we went to visit My Brother & Sister in law that live on Wilmington Island. William is used to riding down the expressway. So he tried to go to sleep until he noticed we were in Downtown Savannah and the change of scenery went from trees and road signs to tall buildings and stop lights. William perked up and watched out the window as we made our way to the Island. Once we got onto the Island we attempted to take him to McDonalds but... William didn't want Nuggets.. ((What?)) . . . He wasn't hungry at all. .
Once we got to Aunt A's & Uncle H's house William went into OMG Daddy hold me mode. Which was all he wanted. Aunt A offered him some Candy and that was the Ice breaker. William sat in my lap and then proceeded to go threw the candy. Aunt A (Who William had not seen since in almost a year) asked William what color he wanted.. Guess what William did.... He told her and Blue and a Green... Again.. Language and conversation w/ someone he hasn't seen in a while... WOW.. I think all these visits and new environments are really starting to get somewhere....
