When we arrived today Tony was coloring with his crayons. He immediately manded for Blue’s Clues Santa Clause and we put in to watch. While watching Blue’s Clues we tried to get Tony to identify objects on a card and count how many there were. He did identify the objects but went back to watching Blue’s Clues as soon as we tried to get him counting.

After watching Blue’s Clues we headed out to the new bus. While in the bus, we worked out motor imitation with him. He was a little a reluctant to do it at first, but with a little persuasion he started to do them quickly.

Once back in the house, Marlaina told Tony that Whitney was on her way. He got so excited he was getting red in the face and kept waiting for her at the gate and kept saying “here comes Whitney!”. He started to get upset when she didn’t show immediately we went headed outside to wait for her. As soon as he saw her car, he took our hands and headed for her car. Tony was really excited to see Whitney and even did his noodle dance for her.

We headed back into his room and tried to get Tony started on some Visual Performance exercises. He ended up doing 3 puzzles and did pretty well but needed a little help getting them started.

After the puzzles we headed to the park. When we got there, he went straight to the slides. We had to help him up to the top. He was relunctant to go down the slide by himself at first and forced us to ride down with him. After about the 10th time of going down the slide with us, he decided to throw turtle down the slide first. He eventually began to go down by himself, with one of us helping him up to the top and waiting for him at the bottom. After going on the slide, he rode the swings with us. He seemed to enjoy this for a little while, but craved the excitement of the slides more. A couple of more times down the slide, and he was so exhausted that he couldn’t even climb up the stairs. We headed home and he went straight to bed.
