Today was a very chill day with Tony. I went over a lot of maintenance activities and I’m confident that most or all of them are completely mastered. I also noticed that Tony’s clean-up song is very clear. He can sing almost the entire song along with me while we’re cleaning up.

We took three walks today and one of them we took his plastic golf club and ball to play with in the grassy area. Tony really enjoyed this and would mand “want ball” before each hit. Another thing that happened on our walk was that he made a request to return home. We were headed off to look at the pool again and he looked up at me and said “house.” At first, I thought it was only a tact. We were surrounded by many houses after all. I asked him if he wanted to go back home and he echoed, “home” while dragging me toward the house.

We spent much of the afternoon playing with the tunnel and the train set. We also spent a lot of time with his new mailbox toy. It has a set of crayons, stickers, cards and a stamp set with a paw print. I taught him how to use the stamps and the ink. After he got the hang of it, Tony was stamping everything with paw prints shrieking, “A clue!!!!’ I cracked up nearly every time.

I think that wraps it up for most of the day. I am glad to see that all the maintenance activities are pretty much mastered. He’s so smart!!!!
