2/11 - Noah, as we started school for the day, "I have my gun in my pocket in case any bad guys try to interrupt school."
2/13 - Faith says something that sounds very like "all done" when she is finished eating or going to the bathroom. She also says "doe" for toes or nose.
2/20 - Faith is now consistently using the toilet sign (it looks like she's shaking an invisible pencil). She does not use it every time she needs to go, but when she thinks about it, and sometimes at diaper changes.
Noah's work with putting the /g/ and /k/ sounds into his regular speech is coming along great! Many words now come out correctly without him thinking about it, many more come out correctly the second time. Since he is now listening and paying attention to how he is speaking, he has also improved other words, such as "seven". It used to be "eh-uh" even though he can say /n/. Now it's "eh-un." /s/ and /v/ will come later. I just ordered the second Speechercise cd and am looking forward to working on these new sounds with him.
Jonathan made a Lego olympics, with figure skaters, speed skaters, and luge riders. He even made the bench that the figure skaters sit on with their coach while waiting for their scores. (: (One of his sets of figure skaters are Han Solo and Princess Leia. Their coach is a droid!) The ice rink was a flat base turned upside down. He and Noah had two zambonis.
Jonathan has been reading up a storm. He found a Star Wars book and has been steadily working away at it.
He had been having trouble with the fact that we solve math problems from left to right no matter where the unknown is. For example, if the problem was [ ] = 9 - 5, he would write -4 in the blank spot. "Five minus nine equals negative four." He was quite frustrated with this for a few days, but the last time I gave him a worksheet with that kind of problem, I simply reminded him that the problems read from left to right, and he did fine.
