Kaylia has many very endearing habits .... most of you have already experienced her charms ..... but some new ones are developing! You may not know ... but one of the characteristics of autism is the child's inability to be aware of other people. This is why they fail to learn ... because they lack the skills of "mimic". As Kaylia is developing, she has developed in this area. She now mimics Naomi very strongly .... in story time, she copies Naomi's gestures ...... and last night while Kaylia was dozing ... almost asleep. ... Naomi coughed .... so Kaylia coughs too! We've seen her do this when she's awake .... but in that situation it was hilarious.
... and she loves being told that "she's a good girl" .... during cuddle time this morning I was telling her this .... and her face was simply glowing with happiness.
Tea-time: Kat had taken Teddy for a walk this afternoon .... and Teddy was attacked by a large black Rottweiler! Fortunately Teddy is just bruised and very sorry for himself. Poor thing. Teddy was completely innocent (for a change!)
