Aaron was adamant that he wanted to come out for breakfast, but didn't end of eating anything, just sitting there watching the other kiddos eat. I think the coming at breakfast in conjunction with Rae leaving immediately was confusing for him because he wasn't teary, but face looked like a combination of confused and sad.

Aaron has been doing better and better (on a daily basis, I think) about asking for what he wants or needs. That includes things like going to the other side of the big room, using a certain toy that someone else has, wanting something at a meal, wanting to help with what I am doing or wanting me to help him with something he is doing. I am very proud of his progress!

Today Aaron out one of the play carrots in the receiver of one of the toobaloo phones. He then started pressing it into the wall and making a sound like it was a drill. That is pretty creative!

When we switched to the back room, Riley was trying to hoard all of the little vehicles and Aaron also loves to play with them. I intervened and helped him get the one he wanted -- he likes this one specific truck. He had it in his hand most of the rest of the time he was in that room. He was mainly playing with it on and in the parking garage. When he would make it go backward he made beeping sounds just like the real worker trucks do when they back up. Noah army crawled over to it too and Aaron was so sweet to him and let him play on the other side without even complaining or grumbling!
