![]() I asked Oliver to say ‘cheese’ for a picture and as you can see, he was a complete ham: High fives, cuddles and kisses all round.Īfter a short streetcar ride we got off at Colborne Lodge Drive and quickly found our picnic spot, just outside the Lodge itself. I was over the moon so we talked about it and I modelled for him, ‘I want to get on streetcar’ – which he then repeated without any assistance whatsoever. Luckily, before Oliver exploded from anticipation, we headed out Sunday morning and while we were waiting for the streetcar Owen said, completely unprompted, ‘I want to get streetcar’. In a parenting fail of gargantuan proportions I told him on Saturday that we would be going on Sunday and so of course he spent the next 24 hours asking if we were going yet… Recently Oliver has discovered BBC children’s programming and has been fascinated with the Fimbles and its spin off, The Roly Mo Show. He’s now obsessed with picnics: packing baskets of goodies, putting his toys in vehicles and putting on picnics for them everywhere – so I suggested that we head out for a picnic this weekend. As one of the things I do is review apps, this makes getting work done very difficult so I’m investing in two new devices (ouch!) to get us back on an even keel. I say “my” iPad as, with the death of two iDevices in the family Oliver has comandeered my iPad for his own use. For me it’s worth it as we don’t have a television and it’s quality programming. It’s free to download and try but there’s an in-app purchase for access to all the content. I have BBC iPlayer (Global) on “my” iPad. ![]() This weekend we had a few successes that tickled me pink and so I thought I would share.įirst, some context. He can say ‘I want to eat’ and ‘I want to drink’ very fluently but I’m helping him use other verbs with ‘I want’, pair ‘I’ with other words (‘I need’, ‘I like’, ‘I am’ for example) and generally use at least two words at all times instead of one – so, ‘read book’ instead of just ‘book’. Despite the fact that I’m behind on that too Owen has continued to do well – right now we’re working on a few things. ![]() I promise I will share our monthly word lists with you as soon as I can…probably while the boys are in camp and I work on putting more vocabulary in Owen’s app. I know I’m woefully behind on my AAC posts. ![]()
