I am thrilled to report that there were no tantrums today. We closely averted one this morning when we went out for a walk and Tony caught a glimpse of the beach / pool bag. Of upon viewing this tantalizing bag all he could think of was going to the pool. (Well, the beach definitely would have been an acceptable alternative.) I could feel things going awry, so I swooped him up and reminded him of the reason we were going out the door in the first place. Luckily there were some squirrels playing out by the tree, so I skipped over to them and scared them up the tree. It was fun for Tony to look up into the branches and leaves and try to spot the little creatures.

As Whitney finished new data sheets for our new objectives she brought them to me to test out. Tony came to the table when I asked him to, but sitting on the chair required some bribery. He didn’t do well with receptively identifying letters based on their sounds, so we will be working on sounds. Another challenge for him was matching objects with pictures. I’m not sure whether he wasn’t getting it or he just wasn’t interested. We have plenty of time to introduce these properly in the coming week! Oooh what fun for everyone to have new activities and material!
