I noticed the past few weeks that my boy has been giving incredible eye contact.

Finally I said something to him about how impressed I am with his advancement and he was a grinning fool.

He has this beautiful smile that doesn't come out very often - usually after he's done a chore without being bugged or his homework is done and we didn't have to bother him to get it done. When that smile comes out I melt. He gave me that smile when I commended him on his eye contact and how hard he's been working on that type of thing.

It just warms my heart when he makes a big jump like that.

Thanks for spending the time to read this.

They grow up. They mature. And they are proud to do it.

Well done!! It's great to see that he's been working on his own improvements.

You should be proud.
