Happy new year! It is great to be able to continue to care for Aaron in 2013!
Aaron ate several bites of Cheerios and a kiss of banana at breakfast. At lunch he ate most of his apple slices, bites of his grilled cheese sandwich and no tomato sip -- sniffed it! : )
Aaron has been going around and around the climber/balance beam them jumping onto the mattress with Thomas and Emily today. They all really enjoy both jumping and watching each other. They also are awesome about taking turns, going around each other and waiting until they are out of each other's road.
He, Emily, Riley and Thomas were all having lots of laughter when they were in the Igloo playing! It looked like they were taking turns being the igloo "door" (except for Riley).
Aaron was hitting and hitting at several different kiddos this morning so we repeated went through the "gentle touches" teaching process, and gave him some words to say instead of hitting. He said them after us well. Now we just need to get him to say them on his own initiative.
Aaron really gets enjoyment out of watching the other kiddos, even if he isn't directly involved in the fun play. Gary was "getting" Emily today and Aaron was just grinning and chuckling like he was the one being tickled.
The kiddos all started marching around the big room without him. He went up to them with both hands up in the "Stop" sign and was saying "Top. Top guys!" He started marching around with them and he was fine with them doing it then. I think he just didn't want to be left behind! : )
