cute kid things.

1. Found a sheet of paper where Pip had written:

hair
ear nose ears
mouth

tami
hand ohannnnnn

nes ne
foot feet
A self-portrait in text? "Ohannnn" is "other hand" I think, and then we have his guesses at "tummy" and "knee

I like that there is one ear and the second one is ears, similar with knee and knees and foot and feet.

Adorable!

That poem?art? is really profound.

That is a fascinating insight, does Pip do drawings, or this his first representation?
Was Pip pleased when Wm was playing with him?

[emmacrew]

He does do drawings, and hands and feet are clearly VERY important in them. I'm interested that there are no *eyes*.

He seems bemused when Wm wants to play with him. But he is showing more interest in doing things with other people than he used to, so I'm hoping that will turn to pleased soonish.

[wosny]

Yes, would he have *drawn* eyes? Are ears very important to him?

Does Pip play with you, or has he tended to prefer playing by himself? I ask because I know I would have found that self-sufficiency so frequent in autism rather devastating. Reading various blogs I see that mothers often become atuned to a different level of interaction. And clearly Wm is able to enjoy playing without needing high intensity feedback.

That is awesome.

Not only cute, but fascinating.
