10/30

Noah opened a ziplock 2x's with no help.  Ann Bender came today-- she gave me her e-mail annbend@childserve.org.  We did our red and blue treasures... he did really good at this!  He drank 3 oz.  We worked on tracing lines and A.  We did our alphabet song.  Is Ziplock mastered?  Unprompted he asked "play" three times.  We did our fall poem/blowing, Old MacDonald, and Sing a Song of People.  He colored.  27 verbalizations.

Trick or Treat was really fun.  Noah was Superman and Andy was a dragon.  They were so adorable and did a great job trick or treating.  Noah would say bye when they would leave a house after taking candy.  And Andy told a funny joke.  What does the skeleton say before dinner?  Bone appetit!  It was very cute.

3 oz of Pediasure.  He was very giggly.  34 verbalizations.  We did our season rhymes, Old Mac Donald, Jingle Bells, and Christmas Carols.  We did tracing A,a and lines.  We worked on coloring inside a circle.  We did a maze.  We read Giddyup Let's Ride.  We did bubbles, and Crocodile Dentist, and worked on imitation for "chomping" and hands up.  Noah met his potty goal!!!!!! He had four weeks in a row of going 10 times!  26 verbalizations.

3 oz. of Pediasure.  He went potty and was dry!  He traced lines, letters, and his name.  He is really doing a lot better with tracing horizontal lines.  He asked several times "Pie."  He was asking for A Was Once an Apple Pie by Edward Lear.  He loved it.  We played Zingo and Crocodile Dentist.  He enjoyed playing and he put away Zingo nicely.
