PECS stuff

works 🙂

Small and I spent a good 20 minutes looking at pictures, and he tried to say “Grapes” Now, why would he say that looking at a picture and not when I’m showing him the real object, or asking him what he wants to eat, I don’t know, but if I’ve got to print out pictures to get him to try, then I’ll print out pictures.

Big didn’t do a whole lot of anything much today, and it showed behaviourally. Caught her bullying Small – yelling at him to try to get him to get off his own new birthday scooter 🙁 Had serious words – he idolises her, and he really doesn’t understand when she goes at him like that, it upsets him a lot. Then a friend of hers came round for a couple of hours and I caught the pair of them tormenting Small in the garden! (When I say caught I was in and out of the kitchen, so within earshot at all times – went rattling out there when I heard Small screaming and discovered that they had been flipping a skipping rope over his head so that he couldn’t reach it until he had given up and collapsed in a heap. I was not impressed. 🙁

But it tired him out – he fell asleep on my knee before 7pm! Which doesn’t explain why I haven’t done half the things I needed to do – so I’m going to go to bed now, and get up with the kids and do them in the morning before home ed group. Hm.
