Connor played a lot of UNO today. He played standing, sitting, and kneeling. He played basketball, batted balloons, crawled for beanbags, used the walker, went to "hospital" school and had group speech Therapy with a 5 year old that has the same condition as him.
It was nice to hear my son was empathetic with the other little boy who was crying, and scared and wanting his dad. They played cars, and it was nice for Connor to finally interact with another child.
Connor had to be extra tough today, he had to have his staples removed and he had to have his "Chest Stickers" removed (he hates removing tape and stickers and band-aids with a passion). He did super, hardly any tears!
Daddy came to spend the night tonight which was a highlight for Connor. We were able to go out to Applebees for a nice dinner. After Dinner Connor and daddy popped popcorn and watched the Star Wars The Clone Wars cartoon.
Something funny: The "Hospital" Teacher asked Connor if he knew the difference between a circle and an Oval (Connor can identify a circle and oval), but he was having trouble coming up with the verbiage to describe the "difference" between the two. So the teacher explained that an Egg was the shape of an Oval, and an Orange was a shape of a Circle. Then she asked "What is the difference between an egg and an Orange?" Connor's reply "An Egg is White".
That was the end of that discussion. She thought that was hilarious.
I'm thankful: Connor was extra brave today

Love the shades Connor! You rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm still smiling about Connor asking for "Quiet Riot"! I bet he'd approve of the songs on my ipod! And yes, one difference between an egg and an orange is that one is white and one is not. I have such a smart student!!
