Big victory for Zane today

When I was buckling Zane in after ST at WSU I asked him (as I usually do) what he did today. For the first time he was able to tell me the entire sequence of the hour, occasionally backtracking to correct himself if he got something out of order. He did it with no visual support at all too. One of the last things was him playing a game with “L”. I asked him who played with him, and he first answered “both of us” (another eyebrow lifter…a pronoun used correctly), and I asked him again (I had heard him rehearsing “”L” and I played a game” under his breath, so I wanted to give him a chance to use the sentence) and he was able to dig the rehearsed sentence out of his brain. It took a while, and he struggled with word recall, but he DID IT! WOOHOO!
