Took James to Sebs birthday party at Chipmunks. He was really excited to be there. I took him up some of the padded stairs and let him go into the different structures and stuff they have there. I put him into the ball pit and just watched him. While other kids were jumping in and out and throwing balls at one another he sat in the middle not noticing the goings on around him and just looking at the balls in his hands. And fitting a half of a ball he found onto a whole ball. It made me sad to see him isolated. Later on he fell off a slide and banged his head on the ground. I picked him up and cuddled him while he cried, then just sat on the ground with him, running my fingers through his hair which I think he likes. I stopped and he took my hand and pulled it I think to say he wanted me to keep doing that, even though he was still sobbing.
Later in the day I spent a lot of time down at his level getting good eye contact and just being with him and around him. We played with Duplo and when things fell over I would say 'crash'!
At bath time I just sat and observed him, and smiled at him whenever he looked at me. He started playing with two cups pouring water out of one into the other. So I went and got two cups of my own and stated pouring water into his with him and he started pouring water into mine.
And onto bed. I have just been into his bedroom where he is still awake due to a 5 minute nap re-power he had this avo while watching Sam-eye Jack (and also the lights weren't fully dimmed). He was trying to put clothes on and had a long sleeve top around his waist like pants. I have tucked him in and he looks happy and should hopefully go to sleep.

I tried to teach my child from books; He gave me only puzzled looks. I tried to teach my child with words; They passed him by, always unheard. Despairingly I turned aside; “How shall I teach this child!” I cried. Into my hand he put the key; “Come” he said, “play with me"..
