Happenings at Home
Michael has been learning about his senses. For the past few weeks we have been working on hearing.
We have been playing a listening match game that he really enjoys. He listens to sounds and has to correctly match the sound to the object or person making the sound. He can usually figure out
which sounds are made from each picture on the cards. He really likes this game.
A few weeks ago I purchased an old-fashioned looking phone for Michael to practice talking on the phone.
He now knows his address, his phone number, and 911 for an emergency.
It also has a drawer on the bottom with paper and pencil and so we play store with the phone as well.
He is so careful as he writes, he is getting so much better! He really enjoys knowing how words
are spelled.
We also filled a yellow bucket up with pasta and containers for pouring and filling up.
Papa Zen gave Michael his first canvas to paint and he was so excited to fill in the lines with paint.
He asked when he finishes it if he can hang it in the living room with the other art....I said we would
find a place for it together. It will hang somewhere for he worked real hard on it.
Life has been simple lately. Trying to keep it that way as I work, raise my boys, and try
to keep a household running successfully. Michael keeps me in check most days as he is filled with
such joy over the simple. I learn so much from him everyday. So much more to learn as we make our
moments count.
