Puzzle Pieces for Preston

Today seemed like a whirlwind of a day! We started early this morning with swimming. When we arrived at the pool, we were greeted by about 15-20 people from the United Way of Escambia County. They were doing a site visit since the Seastars recently received a grant from them. As soon as Preston’s feet hit the ground, he ran over to Robin, grabbed her hand, and took her straight to the pool steps to get in. It was so cute, and couldn’t have been orchestrated better if it had been planned. They got to watch Preston do some of his lesson and asked various questions. When they were leaving one of the gentlemen came over to me and commented on how well I had done speaking to the crowd, and that I had a real gift. It was a heartwarming moment for me. Preston did phenomenal in swimming and I think he swam about 20 feet unassisted in his fins! After swimming we had to dash to a tour of Camp for Kids, that was hosted by Susan, the Executive Director of Autism Pensacola. It was a great experience to tour both locations to see all ages participating in camp. As soon as the tour was over we then had to get to ABA. During ABA Preston mastered the sign for “ball,” which was very exciting.
