• Us
  • I helped W- wax the car while A- played on the sidewalk.
  • I adjusted the elastic on my dust mask so that it fits better.
• Fine motor
  • A- made Duplo stairs.
• Sensory
  • A- wanted some tent time, so I set it up on the deck.
• Language
  • “You’re an old man. You know!”
  • “Such a rolypoly baby we have.”
  • “I promise to be careful.”
  • “I want to build and play.”
• Art
  • We made a ramp ball machine. I tried to make a coin dispenser, but I ran into problems with glue and torque.
  • A- and I made drawers and boxes.
• Self-care and independence
  • A- used the glue gun by herself.
• Household
  • A- hung up many clothes in her closet. “I organized my clothes,” she said proudly.
  • “Where’s the leash?” “Oh, I know, it’s here!” (hanging on a hook)
• Social
  • We got to Trinity Bellwoods an hour and a half before swimming. I suggested going to the playground. A- said, “I want to do nothing.” So we just chatted and cuddled for that long.
• Pretend
  • A- used her spray bottle to pretend to be a skunk detector and sprinkler.
  • A- was really amused when we pretended to turn a dial to adjust how much of a rolypoly baby she was.
• World
  • A- was curious about the neighbours’ tent, so W- set up his tent in the backyard. She had lots of fun hanging out with us in it.
  • We took the pop bottle water dispenser to the wading pool. A- had fun playing with it, and H- was curious about it too.
  • We made a cardboard ball dispenser.
  • “You have to change the tires. It’s not winter any more, it’s summer.”
