Ben played at school!

I wanted to be sure to write this one down- Ben's first time playing with other kids! The teacher told me yesterday at school that he played for nearly 30 minutes during free time at the kitchen/house area PLAYING/interacting with the other kids. That means talking to them! We have been at this school almost a year and this is the first time he's ever done this! This is huge!
Ben usually paralell plays, but doesn't usually actually play/interact. He just prefers to do his own thing. Now at home, he's very social with us and adults. He just hasn't found how to carry that over and generalize with his peers.
Maybe we're getting there?!

This morning he got up at 3:30am and didn't go back to sleep. Uggg... I think maybe he's getting too much sleep. The new med makes him tired, so he is taking a nap which is great, but sleeping 11 hours at night then a 3 hour nap is too much sleep. Now that he's finally getting over our CA trip last week hopefully that will become more normal and he'll be less tired.

This morning Ben picked up a piece of his egg at breakfast and told me it looked like Kentucky. Such a funny guy! :)
