Push Ups

Sometimes, when you have a kid with speech issues and delays, words don't come easily. Zach Charades were happening today after school. He said he did a lot stretching and sit-ups. And then paused because he couldn't think of the word. He put his pretzels down, threw his knees up behind him and put his hands on the floor and proceeded to do push-ups. "I did these!" A push up? "Yes! I did push-ups!!!" He was so excited to act out the word he didn't remember and more excited that I knew what he was talking about. Amidst the garage sale chaos.
