We have had an eventful week to say the least! Me in the emergency and Asher vomiting, LOTS! We are all ok for now though. Because of the vomiting we are home on the Sabbath. Asher misses out on seeing the Primary Presentation. I really like when he gets to watch the Primary children speak in church and sing. He loves seeing them and it helps him focus for once! Sadly we are home...watching movies while he recovers.
We did manage enough energy to play ashers favourite thing ever at the moment - grocery shop. He loves these grocery pieces so much. He can play up to 40 minutes with these and thats HUGE for this kids attention. They were just from Aldi ... wooden with velcro in between so they can be 'cut' with the wooden knife and chopping block that comes with he set.
This morning I ordered three items at a time to challenge his memory and attention. My instructions went like this
"excuse me, mr grocery man can i please make an order?... i'd like a yellow cupcake, a piece of fish and one slice of toast". He did pretty well as we played for ages and each time i made a new order mixing up the items. There are lots of food items in his shop so its a challenge because he can get distracted. I liked incorporating this element to his play because there was thinking involved. It also gave me many chances to offer him praise as he got the orders right.
I'm working hard to keep up my positive speak to asher throughout the day. Often its negative "dont do that" all day. Hoping to keep more on the positive track :)
