Must have come down with something over the last few days. The weather has been on and off spotty and I've been feeling run down and tired not to mention sinus congestion and a stupid relentless cough. Drives me nuts.
On the other hand, Jamie seems to be doing a lot better. He's actually exploring things and trying new textures and the thought that it was a non-organic problem has pretty much evaporated. Now we're looking for an organic cause of his developmental delay. It could very well be autism, even though the foster parent isn't thinking so. We don't know enough about the autism spectrum to know just what the gamut of socialization a child with autism does or not. It still is "socialization on HIS terms"; not when we want to socialize with him so that is something that I want to bring up with Matt (our social worker) on Monday.
I'm looking forward to seeing Stormi walk. She's already cruising the furniture and making tentative unsupported steps, but she oft-times falls on her little butt. But she's attempting it and that's what puts her ahead of Jamie in the developmental scale. Hopefully at some point, Jamie can come home. I'd just feel more comfortable knowing that he is getting the care and therapy necessary to bring him along in his development.
