The other night as I was getting John in bed, he was saying things like "rocking horse, table" etc..., and I realized he was talking about finding his Easter eggs on Easter morning! He still remembered that! And last night, he was saying "jelly beans".

We've been saying to him a number of times now to come give us a hug instead of being wild, and now he'll smile and come give us a hug and say back to us "give hug instead being wild". So, he may not do it on his own, but hopefully he's realizing there is another outlet for his feelings. Yesterday he kinda gave Hanna a shove and instead of getting mad, Rhonda just calmly said he had to sit on the couch for awhile and that she'd have to hold Hanna because she was crying. And, he never bothered her again for the rest of the night, so maybe reacting that way is a way to diffuse his acting out.

I put Hanna to bed last night, and I said "let's say prayers" and she immediately put her hands together, and when I said "Amen" she started clapping all by herself, cuz when we're done I'll usually say "yay" and clap my hands, and now she does that too. She is such an imitator.
