Just Dad and James

Just us two here as Michelle and Hannah are down the sounds. Last night I wrote down some goals for today, for some ideas on what to do so the day doesn't drift, and also just as reinforcement for me!
- To be responsive to his language, get down and be instructive, pointing and touching, do some drawings, swimming/bike.

So far today some of the things we have done include that we got up and I made James choose his toast topping. I put the Jam and PB and 'Mimite' in front of him. Took a bit but he grinned and was patting his hand on Jam. Don't know if that was a selection but good enough for me, and thats what he got. Have just been for a big cake/plant shop/dam loop, his walking and running have been getting really good, and I always love to see him use all his powers to clamber up the rock run.

I have been pointing out objects and naming them, and pointing to different geometric shapes. E.g something round is 'circle shape' (don't want him to get confused between what the object is and what its shape is).

Oh and the best thing, which I just remembered is the reason I went to make this post is that he now looks at me when I say his name!!!!!!!!
