Forrest continues to make great progress using his hands to communicate and to answer yes/no questions with his fingers more reliably, displaying one finger for yes and two fingers for no. He still shows his same humor, Friday we were talking about dance parties and Tami asked him if he was a great dancer, and he held up one finger. Then she asked if his brother was a good dancer, with me standing a few feet away. With no hesitation he grinned and held up two fingers. He answered the same when asked if Dad was a good dancer. Same old Forrest. :)
The days are flying by, Aunt Trish is a godsend as she, Tami and I hold down the fort while Mom and Dad travel on business.
Love from Brightwood,
Austin

Great job holding down the fort Austin, Tami, and Aunt Trish. Well done! And Forrest, the progress is so exciting to read. Being able to answer questions is very excellent. Keep up the good work everyone. Thanks for the update!
