finally, cutting his pancakes=no tears

This morning, SJ had his normal breakfast.  I put three pancakes on his plate and gave him a knife and a fork.  If you are new to this blog, we have been working on getting SJ to cut up his own food.  Usually, I get a lot of complaining and tears when he is asked to do this.  Well, hallelujah!  He came in the kitchen and sat at the island.  The pancakes were there.  I was busy getting his supplements ready.  When I turned around, there he was quietly cutting his pancakes with a dry face.  No tears, no complaining, no yelling.  The only thing he said was, "Mom, we need more syrup."  He was right.  We do need more syrup.  "I will add it to the list," I told him.  He said, "Thanks, Mom."  "No, thank you for being a big boy," I thought.  Imagine it only took 46 days, but he did it!  I am so proud!
