[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has made so much progress, I am constantly so amazed at just how hard he works.  But the proudest moment this year, is when he stood up for himself at the park a couple months back!  He had never been able to advocate for himself and kids constantly take advantage taking toys out of his hands.  One day a random girl ran up out of nowhere and snatched a toy out of his and he said loudly "hey that's mine!" and snatched it back.  Part of me felt awful because the girl ran away crying, but at the same time it was the first time I had to run over and give him the biggest hug I could offer.  It was a little glimmer of hope that he will be able to communicate his feelings. 
I told one of my friends that night and she came over with a bottle of wine to toast my little guy!  [/quote]

Yay!  I also had my DC give away his toys only to find them later broken or other kids hovering over them "no, we don't want to give them back, waaaah, I'll call my mommy."  I started labeling every single playground toy we take with us so every time someone tries to not give it back, he can point and say "that's my toy, it says so."  Some parents told us "oh, you should teach him how to share!".  Puuuhleeze:)[/quote]
