What a difference a year makes

Almost exactly one year ago I wrote this blog post, entitled "Behaviour is communication," about Jonathan's reaction to going into the church gym for lunch (after our picnic-in-the-park was rained out). Today the same thing happened -- it rained, so the picnic was held in the gym instead -- but this time it was totally different: Jonathan came into the gym, ate lunch, played some basketball, and seemed to enjoy himself. We don't always see the day-to-day progress, but sometimes when we look back on a few months or a year ago we are amazed to see how far we've come!

Here's Jonathan - not in the gym, but enjoying an Easter-egg hunt
