Start of communication

All of a sudden Eshel participates in our life more. He draws when Michelle is drawing, he laughs when everyone is laughing, he climbs on chairs - he knows that he needs a little chair to climb on a big one, and one day I found him sitting happily on a table!
He knows his boundaries very well - he checks that the chairs are stable before going on (and if it doesn't look safe he screams for help). At the sea he knows how deep he can go, otherwise the wave will come and splash him in the face (I actually want it to happen to him to clear his nose and airways, but he runs away most of the times).
Eshel started to "talk". When I have time to sit quietly with him we talk - I can really understand what he has to say (and it's not about his immediate needs anymore). He loves to play finger games (Michelle does too - she teaches him) and to listen to Michelle sing.
Every period has it's beauties and I would call our period now as a start of communication.
