Amazing all 'data' the behavior specialist was able to glean and all the information & suggestions he/she was able to impart (I'm taking notes from your post for Piper and me~~the not listening thing, for one!). Sounds like a lot of hard work and dedicated diligence on your part, but oh-so-worthwhile I'm sure! You sound much more relaxed and optimistic and even excited about Jake and your home life and everything! I'll be anxious to hear about your successes and the occasional set-backs, but will be cheering you on through out! Your determination is remarkable--and rather inspiring!
