• Kaizen
  • I decluttered many of my clothes and a large part of my fabric stash. It’s nice to have several empty drawers and boxes.
  • W- helped me tape up my phone screen to deal with the crack.
• Us
  • I made a Tsuki rabbit out of clay.
  • Either A- or I put weight on my phone, so the screen cracked. Oh well!
  • W- edited our Borderlands 2 characters to bring them over from the PS3.
  • I made cabbage stew. It worked out nicely!
• Gross motor
  • A- climbed up the net and went down the big slide all by herself at Grange Park.
• Fine motor
  • A- was curious about LEGO, so W- started bringing up parts of his collection. A- liked the train set and the vehicles.
• Language
  • W-: “This has just the right amount of crust – i.e., lots.” A-: “It doesn’t do it for me.”
  • A-: “What’s a trackless train?” Me: (brief explanation) A-: “What’s a roadless train?” Me: (brief guess) “I think she’s making up phrases, generalizing from the foo-less train pattern.” W-: “It may interest you to know that words that start with di mean two.” A-: “Diamond.” J-: “She’s too smart for you.” W-: “Okay. Not every word that starts with di follows that pattern.”
• Self-care and independence
  • The doctor diagnosed A- with bacterial pneumonia and prescribed clarithromycin.
  • We went to the doctor to get another prescription so that we could try getting A-‘s antibiotics compounded with a different flavour. The pharmacy said that their bubblegum flavour expired, so we opted for Tutti Frutti. After mixing it up, the pharmacist said it needed tweaking, so they tried a different formulation. We picked it up the next day.
  • “I’m going to take the easy way today.”
  • A- easily opened the childproof medicine bottle. She set a teaspoon of ice cream spoon on her saucer, where she also had a square of white chocolate. After I gave her the medicine, she considered her options and decided which one to eat first, washing things down with coconut water.
• Emotion
  • “I’m not so happy. The reason is because of my meds.”
• Social
  • We had Jen and E- over. A- had lots of fun running around with E- and playing with him, although she didn’t like it so much when he pretended to be a pouncing cat. We worked on a ghost costume for E-.
• Cognition
  • A- made a paper pumpkin out of shapes.
• World
  • A- turned the phone away from her when she noticed YouTube was showing an ad.
