Today the caretaker and I were singing to Nathaniel. We invited him to join. He actually, for the first time that I know, made a verbal noise. It was just one note and he didn't do it again, but it's a great start
We were playing with a deck of cards. I showed him an 8 and a 3. I asked him which was higher. He pointed to the 8. I did it a few more times with other numbers and he got it. I made it even harder and showed a number and a jack. He knew the jack was higher.
Joe was with him a few days ago, and when he was trying to move Nathaniel's right leg, he's pretty sure he felt Nathaniel help him move the leg.
