Yesterday evening I had the most beautiful conversation with my oldest son.
Me: "How was your first day at school? Did you have a good day?"
A: "Good Day."
Ok, I know it is echolalia, and I set him up, but still, he doesn't repeat things that he doesn't understand or doesn't want to say. So I really think he was telling me he had a good day!
And B's teacher said that all things considered B had a good day too. Only problem was escaping. He is way too fast for them. Today she told me that he stole an oreo cookie from another little girl at recess. I love the fact that she is honest with me and reports these things!!!!
I think we're going to have a good year.

That's not setting him up, it is just suggesting some possible language choices! I do the same with my kids! and I can tell when somebody is just repeating it because if I suspect echolalia I say also something else, and see if the boy keeps repeating....
go A, go!!! :-)
such a sweet boy
Yay..for A! I'll take echolalia over silence any day. Today Jake said "many" at school... clearly he thinks there are too many kids in his class too!
