When I walked in today, Tony did his usual greeting of “Hello Jenny” with a huge smile on his face. He was playing with his little people again. He pretty much manded for Turtles Show when I walked through the door. It’s a new show that has Frogs in it, but we just let him think otherwise.
We painted for about 30 minutes in his playroom. Like usual, it is more like dip the brush in the paint and then dip it in the water. A huge change that I noticed since I started working was that he doesn’t seem to mind getting his fingers dirty anymore. There was a time when he would start getting upset about it, but today he was fingerpainting. He also got a wipe for his hands by himself.
After we got done painting, we headed to the bathroom to wash his hands. He grabbed his “Santee Clause” and one his babies. Little did I know, we were going to be spending the next 20 minutes in the bathroom. When we got in there, instead of washing his hands like we had planned, he immediately grabbed his toothbrush. He seems to like the taste of the strawberry toothpaste, so instead of brushing his tooth, it’s more like having lunch! He kept asking for more toothpaste and eventually he decided to start brushing the babies teeth. After working on the babies teeth for a while, he decided to clean up Santa Clause. I had to take him away, since Santa Clause had a face made of entirely fabric. He didn’t seem to mind this.
After we finished up brushing everyone’s teeth in the bathroom, we headed back to his playroom and watched his “Turtle” Movie again. It was on replay the entire day. While he watched this, we started playing with his train tracks. He eventually got tired and it was off to bed.
