Daily Note: 19 July 2018

Planned activities for the day:

  • Activities from yesterday

Highlights of the day:

Plays independently

- Bugged me to get out of bed to play with his play dough
- He mostly played by himself
- Perhaps having the toys and activities laid out nicely on the table is good for both of us
- When I was preparing lunch, he looked through the kitchen cabinet and declared that he wanted to cook
- Played "pouring" of liquids between two cups (water in one, and milk in the other -- then of course, he did not want to drink it); made a mess, by the way

Life skills

- Had the chance to wear his slippers twice today -- and he wore them correctly both times: As he was about to wear the left pair to his right foot (or vice versa), he stopped himself and put on the correct one instead

Ideas for next lessons:

  • Continue with having activities prepared and presented nicely
  • CLEAN UP!
  • DIY easel before I buy one
  • More "station", or transportation activities (he requested it, but we do it outside)
  • Go out tomorrow, as promised

More reflections:

It just dawned on me that Mateo was the one to say "'station" when I asked him what we're going to do next time. This after his daddy asked him what we did today. He realized that our activities were mostly transportation-related! Maybe it's not a big thing, but I'm just amazed that he noticed it.
