Busy day.  Hadn't done RDI in a couple days.  Don't know why??  I missed one full day, then felt like a failure, so was kind of depressed about it.  The following days began feeling like a failure which did not ignite me to get back on track. Steven had a rough day or two, so it kicked my tail back in to gear to help him!  Today was better.

1.  I did something simple early this morning, but for the life of me cannot think of what it is right now!

2.  Cooked soup together!!  This was great!!  I had to cut up tons of veggies.  Steven helped and was so engaged.  Then, he stirred, threw stuff in the pot, etc.  This took almost an hour and he was with me the whole time!  I could just see the look of confidence as he wanted to try new things! 

3.  Daddy and Steven: Kurplunk--We played with Jackson and worked on taking turns and following the leader.  Once Steven tried to go out of tunr but for the most part Steven was really good at following directions.  I had him follow me putting in 1 or 2 marbles and then pulling out 1 or 2 sticks and he did a good job of following me and seemed to enjoy the game over all.  I think taht I could do future variations with different colors of marbles.  We each had one color but I think that we could mix up and mix up the sticks more too and that would help him with seeing that it is still playing.
