Here are some cute pictures of the kids. Plus, as you can see from the pictures, we had my sister's dog Layla come stay with us for a couple of days. We are seriously thinking about getting a dog later this year and we thought we'd experiment how our days would be with a dog around the house.
Dogs are very good for some children with autism. Brody LOVES dogs. There are programs to help dogs train to be therapy dogs. It can help with social skills, interaction, eye contact, etc. Layla got worn out quickly so she didn't play with the kids as much but it was nice to see how things might be having a dog around.
P.S. As you can see from the picture of Ryan his two favorite things of late - looking out the window and the Xbox. The obsession is growing. Ryan now can stand up, open the cupboard where the Xbox is, pull down the controller and then he pushes the button to turn it on (I am sure he doesn't know that it turns it on). My bet, in two years or so he will be Jake's video game buddy!!
