"I can ride my motorcycle!"

Liam finally got the hang of his tricycle! He was so proud of himself! He has had trouble
trying to figure out how to peddle and get himself going and keep going. He also learned, the very next day, how to turn the tricycle. He has learned how to catch a ball, jump with both legs off the floor, and ride a tricycle all in this year, mostly because of the influence of pre-school and his teacher. In this photo he has the happiest face I have ever seen in a year and a half. He is finally living in the moment and he has let go of his "inner-struggle" with himself. Adrian will be so shocked at how far Liam has come in this past year. He has really begun to show more confidence and carefree personality, not anxious or overwhelmed at all. He will let me praise him and not get upset. He used to get mad and have melt-downs every time I would praise him or give him any positive reinforcement. Now he seeks out praise and is proud of himself. Learning to ride the tricycle is a huge accomplishment for Liam, I'm so proud of him and how much progress he has made.
