Happy New Year, All!! I hope you and your families are safe and healthy as we start a new year. As we move into 2021, we have witnessed some great things with Jackson’s development! He is talking a ton!!!
Jackson has been saying things like, “Da”, “Ma”, “Carter”, “Grandma”, “Grandpa”, “Pa”, “Va” and even said Charlie and Aspen (our dogs)! My hubby made Jackson a photo book with pictures of our immediate family, so he can keep working on putting names with their faces and he is doing great!!!
For Christmas Jackson received a Sensory Bubble Tube that has floating fish and changes colors. We made him a sensory corner in the basement that has some chairs around the tube and also hung up some educational posters, one which has colors on it. When he sits in his corner he tells us the colors he sees in the tube and if you ask him the colors on his poster he can tell you Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Orange and Yellow!! He is learning Pink, Brown and Black too! It is truly amazing the progress he has made in such a short amount of time and we are so incredibly proud of him!
As we move forward in 2021, we continue to pray for everyone’s health, so that both the boys can continue in-person schooling and so Jackson can continue his therapy services. We pray for the medical professionals working in the Fragile X world as they continue to work towards treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X Syndrome and we pray for understanding and empathy for all. Special Needs children and their parents want what everyone else wants….for their child to be accepted and understood. It is a great reminder for children and adults that Special Needs kiddos and their families have battles you might not be aware of, most days are a struggle just to do simple tasks, so please be kind to everyone!
