A couple weeks ago, we noticed that Brycen was really starting to comprehend the order of the ABC's. He is still doing awesome at attempting to verbalize each letter, as well as he now recognizes both upper and lower case letters. He can trace all of the letters and write the letters in his name somewhat legibly with multiple verbal prompts (but without tracing needed). We are working towards him writing his first name completely independently and I am confident he will succeed at this shortly after school starts next week. My mom was working on verbalizing the ABC's with him recently and found that he actually does have the order memorized like other kids his age. She would just ask him what comes next and he would pause before verbalizing the correct one.
Today, while Mike was home on lunch break and making his sandwiches, he told me to look at Brycen by the fridge. Above is what we found him doing...slowly but surely he put the ABC's in order with the fridge magnets. We are so proud of him and all of his progress over these last few months! While we aren't hearing much more verbally from him, we are noticing so much more through his actions and responses. He is taking in so much from his interactions with others and showing us that he is learning through moments like this. He works so hard every single day to do these things, and sometimes we don't give him enough credit for what he really can do by himself.
