Paul's Update - 01/03/07

Dear Friends:

New Year's day was pretty quiet for us. It is the start to what we hope will be a really good year for our family. Dora was off for the holiday so Dad & Tabby were in charge. Tabby slept in ... she was up late the night before! Not many new things the last couple of days. Tabby works to encourage Paul to say things that he thinks of by himself. She will say "I" and he will repeat "I", the she says "what?" and waits for him to respond. Sometimes he will say something random. Tuesday he said "I ... bathroom". We took that to mean he needed to go to the bathroom so Dad came down and took him to the bathroom. Today he said "I ... make ... funny". Tabby said this is a line from a movie that Paul use to quote. It seemed more like random thoughts to me but only he knows for sure!! It doesn't matter anyway because he said it all by himself! Dad has been busy the last couple of days and Paul hasn't really done any exercises. They hope to continue again tomorrow. Max is trying harder each day to crawl. He scoots across the floor and gets where he wants to go. It won't be long before we will be chasing him all over the house!! Tabby went on a job interview today. Although she likes her job she really needs to make more income. She still falls short of making her mortgage each month. If this interview turns into an offer and the are willing to give her enough to pay her bills, she will probably change jobs soon. Carolyn started working at her new job on Tuesday. She is working at the same place that Tabby is. She seems to like it so far. She enjoyed being at home for a while but was really ready to go back to work!


Have a great day, Carl & Lynne
