Tony was on the ball today! When he finished eating we spent the majority of the time in the playroom. First, we did start the day by going on a walk in the grass. Tony picked up two small tree limbs, ran over to a tree, then matched the limbs to the tree. He also ran up to everything (plants, sticks, the hammock, trees, etc…) asking, “what’s this?” Then he took my hand and said “bye”, so we walked to the house. Once in the playroom Tony completed “do this” w/stomping, rolling, jumping, bouncing, and clapping. He completed “put w/same” using objects and pictures w/no problems. Tony tacted the pictures of a duck, a ball, a turtle, a dog, and even a cup! He also clearly tacted circle and some numbers and sounds, along with the colors black, blue, yellow, red, and green. By the way, he organized his blocks into colors today. When I held a ball and asked, “what’s this”, Tony said “a ball” (actually used ‘a’). He said this twice. When I held up his dinosaur and said “what’s this” he growled like a dinosaur. Tony echoed the sounds “moo”, “huh, huh” (dog panting sounds), “the end”, and music from Blue’s Clues and “Twinkle, twinkle”. He completed a puzzle, bounced, threw, and rolled a ball. He colored a circle (went out of the lines, though), and played with magic dough, making the sound for “cookie” and also eating sounds. He requested w/an approximation for “squish (squeeze?)” and handed me the dough (I take my hands over his and we squish the dough which he enjoys). Tony also brought me his weighted vest (?) and requested “open”, so un held it out and he placed his arms into the holes and wore it for a moment. He sighed and smiled then later said “all done” so I removed it. What did Tony mand today? Let’s see: open, all done, bye, what’s this, bounce, aah boom, aah choo, squish, clean up, roll, ball. Tony flipped the pages of his books as I said the name of the objects and he also played appropriately w/his block toy. He also pulled his train and said “choo choo”. When Tony was tired he said “bye” and also came up to me, gave me a hug, then rested his head on my shoulder. He was quite content when mommy took him to bed. Today was just amazing!!
