- He has started to repeat words. YES!!! (Thank you, ABA!)
- He is starting to request items (juice, cookie, outside, go...)
- He will look at me and give me a cheesy smile
- He will say "cheese" for the camera
- He can say "no" instead of scream (not always)
- He throws things away for me.........cute, except throwing away the bathtub stopper is not so cute when Mommy really wants to take a bath!
- He will come and let me know if he has pooped or peed
- He gets in the van, climbs up to his car seat, and is ready to go when I say, "Let's go!"
- He doesn't cry in the van if we go a different route anymore
- He doesn't spin anymore.....I never thought that would end!
- He can take ALL of his clothes off. He struggles with putting his shirt on, but he is getting the hang of dressing himself
- He will sit on the potty without crying
- He will play some games with me and Kylie
- He imitates Kylie and tries to push play on the DVD by standing on top of something and climbing up the armoire to get to it
- He can sit through a whole meal if we go out to eat
- He fills in words to songs we are singing or will sing his own little songs
I could go on but these are things that I am most proud of today. He still can't sit through church without screaming or making a scene during the sermon but we keep trying. I know that he will make so much progress this year and I can look back and see how far he has come. I love you, Riley Roo!

It is so great that you are celebrating the small steps (and the big ones)! Riley has the best mom, dad and big sister in the whole world!
That's a great list, Traci. Thanks for sharing with us, so we can be proud of Riley, too!
Wow! That seems like a lot for such a little boy to learn all in one year. I am so proud of Riley.
Traci,
I am so proud of Riley (and of you and Alan and Kylie!) Thanks for sharing Riley's success with us!
Love you all,
Katina
He is so cute! I love that picture of him!
I'm impressed with all that he can do....it's wonderful! Even my four and a half year old has a hard time dressing herself sometimes.

I remember when Zachary "graduated" from ECI. It was so sad. Those girls become like family- they are in and out of your house so much! They actually brought a little cap and gown for Zach for his graduation ceremony. :(
I pray this will be a good year in PPCD for Riley!
Wow! Way to go, Riley :) Riley is making great progress.. and it is so wonderful that he was able to have such a great ECI experience. Riley is so blessed to have such wonderful parents that took advantage of such a great tool.
Yeah!! I am so excited about all the things that Riley has learned in the past year and I know that the next year will hold many more discoveries for him. He is in our thouhgts and prayers often. We love each of you so much and are so glad God placed Riley in the perfect family. Love you!
