Today was another short day with Tony. When I arrived Tony seemed
really excited to see me and kept saying “Hi Danielle!” very loudly
while Anton was on a business call. So since I had stopped and picked
up Tony and I some fries prior to my arrival, I lured him into the
playroom with the fries. Once in the playroom Tony and I played with
his little people for a little while and built a chair.
As soon as I grabbed the book to start ABA Tony was manding for
Wiggles Safari. I put the DVD in and immediately tried to start with
some receptives, but it was evident that I couldn’t compete with
Wiggles.
Later on Anton and Marlaina decided to go get some coffee, so Tony and
I had the house to ourselves for a little while. At first we decided
to start building houses out of his blocks, then he started manding
for his people. The first one he asked for was “Tony”. So I headed
out to the living room expecting to see “Tony” lying with all the
other people, but Tony happened to be MIA. I kept looking and
couldn’t find him and would go back in the playroom hoping that Tony
had forgotten but as soon as I would approach the room Tony would ask
for him again. Thankfully, I found him under a cushion on the couch.
After this Tony was getting really tired and starting to get upset
easily. He started asking for Mom and night night shadows. Luckily,
I distracted him with a toy from the mystery bag and then Mom came
home just in time for him to take a nap.
