Thanks for sharing that. We had a "different" Christmas as well. Last year, Patrick would dry heave and throw up at the sound of wrapping paper being torn. This year, he didn't. He didn't have any interest in opening presents, but wow -- what a difference! He seems to show interest in only one item. His Pooh Race car (self-powered by his feet). He looks adorable in it, too.

It seems like yesterday but forever (if that is possible) that we went to Option January 4-8 in 1999 for our intensive. The progress Patrick has made this past year, and considering we only do the program part-time, is overwhelming. I love reading all your posts, too. Happy Holidays to all and I can't wait to see what Patrick is like this time next year.
