I agree with Whitney…Tony is certainly getting more consistent with two-word combos and “I want ___”. I’m always so proud of how quickly he picks up on things. We did quite a bit of Q & A today with books. Who is in the tree?, Where is Barney?, What is the dog eating?, etc. Tony answered many of the questions independently, but when he had trouble,giving him a prompt by pointing to the pictures in the books totally clued him in. Just to comment on Whitney’s last post (make yours like mine), I have been doing HOH with blocks and such to get Tony to imitate things I build. I haven’t been doing it so much as to get him to imitate me, but to just show him an alternative to the usual stacking things straight up or in a straight line. This isn’t something that we’ve done daily, even weekly, but Tony has tolerated it without any problems. Occasionally, he has tried to imitate on his own. That’s all I have for now. See you all on Thursday!
