We got a lot of great photos from March Break on the farm. I liked these three as they show how much Malcolm likes to pretend play - much more so than Donovan. He really wanted to dress up in the apron that his cousins had been wearing earlier. He then went on his own accord to pick out a doll, bring it over to the crib, carefully put her in bed and put a blanket over her. He made the 'sleep' sign a few times. He was very pleased with himself. He often likes to pretend his stuffed animals are sleeping or eating (two his his favourite activities I guess!). His speech therapist has said that he obviously knows the script we just have to help him with the words...I have learned how to interact with Malcolm during his pretend play to encourage him to sign and communicate what he is doing but more on that after his next speech session, which is tomorrow...
We had a great time seeing everyone at the farm and in TO. Our very first March Break vacation was a great success and am glad we have many more to look forward to.
