October 23rd Report

Elijah woke up late today. We really only had about 45 minutes between breakfast/getting ready for the day and lunch time...but we did make the most of it.

I first showed him the new coin sorting activity.


I gave a short demonstration, but he was most interested in pouring. We did get a little language in there (the words: "coins", "penny(ies)", quarter(s)").



He kept putting the coins in the slot in the table, but they were getting into the space between the floor and the fireplace or rolling under the couch. I suggested we bring the disc in a slot activity into the mix.



Then, he had a pee pee accident. We cleaned up and then worked on the brown stair.


He wanted to add the pink tower, too.



Right after this picture, Elijah exclaimed, "I'm mad!", grabbed his baby doll and went to the other side of the room. Once he cooled off, I showed him how to flatten the mat out (he explained that was what was bothering him). The mat got squished up again and he had a similar reaction and did not want to play with the brown stair or pink tower anymore. I asked if he'd like to help put them away. He did not, so I did. When I was done, I joined him on the couch where he was ready to read his BOB books.


We read 3 books (1 of them twice). Then he wanted lunch, so we rapped up.

Well, the rest of the day was rough and we didn't really get a whole lot else done.
