Wes has always been behind in his cognitive thinking and cognitive shifting. These are very hard areas for him, but he's made huge progress since he's started therapy and school.
When I picked him up from school the other day, his para couldn't wait to show me what he can do. She got his attention and asked him to name a shape, which he blurted out star after a 5 second delay. Then she asked him to name a color, which he immediately blurted out blue. Next, she asked him to name an animal and he said horse. I was jumping up and down with pride for him. The beaming light coming from his tiny face showed me that he was quite proud of himself too. C said "Wait, there's more!" She again asked him to name an animal and he said cow. She asked what does a cow say and he said mooo. Her next question was a cow is a.. and he said animal. Wow. That really is the coolest thing I have ever witnessed.

Way to go, Wes!!
