Well the good news today is that Tony was feeling a lot better! When
I arrived this morning, he was eating his breakfast which consisted of
chicken and pretzels.
We then proceeded to his room to play with the loving family? ( I
think I have their name right this time). As Tony was putting
everyone in the bus to go on a bus ride, I asked him who everyone was.
He pointed out Mommy, Daddy, Tony and Sissy but to my surprise Tony
has named one of these people after another person, Jill. Since he
was adding more people, I proceeded to ask him “where’s Danielle?”.
He didn’t respond, so I guess there is no Danielle for now. Maybe I
will work with him on that…lol.
After we were finished with the loving family, Tony decided he wanted
to color with markers. When I got out his markers, he proceeded to
pull out the clothespins as well. The other day Morgan and I had
colored some of them for him and he was going through them looking for
one of each color. When he couldn’t find the red one he said “red” so
I colored one of them red for him. I then got him to pick 2 colors
and alternated them on the pin. I also tried to get him to squeeze
them open to attatch them to a piece of paper and squeeze to release
them. I figured this would be easy for him since we practice that
with the toothpaste when he brushes his teeth. He didn’t have much
luck, so I put my hand over his and helped him. He didn’t like this
way of taking them off, so he just pulled them off.
The rest of the day was a little difficult. He seemed to not want to
be seperated from his mom as at all. Even being in the other room
would upset him. I figured when Jill arrived, he would be fine
without Marlaina but he still wanted to be by mom all the time. After
Jill left he went upstairs to take a nap. Hopefully, tomorrow will a
be a better day for Tony!
