No meltdown...........

I think we've made progress.......

Nate was watching a Bear in the Big Blue House DVD tonight. I went back to check on him twice and the DVD had frozen. He was just sitting on his bed waiting off the DVD to start again.  When I walked in, he just kept saying, "Bear."  He wasn't crying, he wasn't stomping his feet, and he wasn't making his his pitched shrieking noises. 

Normally, he'd be inconsolable. He would have come to find me already in tears. After I'd walked back in his room and told him it was broken, all hell would break loose. The first step would be blinking quickly for a minute and the crying would start.....full out wailing. Next, he'd stomp his feet. To make sure I knew he meant business, he'd clap at me a few times and start screaming. 

None of that happened tonight. Granted, I wish he would have come and asked for help, but I will chalk this one up as a win.
