Remembering

I am so super excited. For the first time Logan has remembered something that happened 6 months ago and spoke about it very well. He has mentioned our car accident before, but usually it is just "Mommy broke her car" and nothing more than that. This is not something he normal does. I ask him what he did a school today and he will tell me "I go school and afterschool I go see Dalton." We never get any further details.

So this morning we were headed to School and we stop at the end of our street. I am waiting for the cars to pass so I can turn left. Logan says "Careful Mommy. We got in accident, hurt Mommy's car. I hurt my finger. Mommy you cried. You sad." I said "That's correct Logan, we did get into an accident. " He then said "But everybody OK, Mommy got new car. No more accident." I then asked him if he tried to fix Mommy's car (which he kept telling us the day of the accident that he needed a screwdriver so he could fix Mommy's car). He said "No, screwdriver not fix car, car broken. We saw Firetruck." I told him he was correct and asked if he saw anything else. Then he told me to go to school and afterschool he goes to Grandma's (not part of the accident).

Normally when we ask questions about events, he repeats back what we say and does not go into any detail at all. This time he actually answered my questions!!!!!! I was soooooooo happy to have this conversation with him this morning. It was definitely a good step in the right direction.
