Today was another good day with Tony. He did really well with motor imitation when we did “stomp” and “bang drum” and then also worked on manding with “jump” “bubbles.” I tried doing match to sample with the balls and lizards and Tony wasn’t really into this activity but nevertheless he did finally end up chucking the ball near the matching one! I also worked with Tony on drawing on his new activity box with his marker. I did “do this” and drew a line. Although Tony couldn’t draw a line completely independently, he was definitely making an attempt. He was listening and seemed very focused. Tony also did a really cool thing with his toy phone. He picked it up and pressed a few of the buttons and put it up to his ear like a real phone! How cool! So I asked, “Can you say hello?” He put it back to his ear and said “Hello!” pretty clearly. It was really cool. The pretend play has definitely been obvious over the past few weeks..how exciting!
