We played tennis in the evening, Andre did pretty good, especially the last few balls. He was really tracking the ball bouncing and hit it right on time! When I was planing to keep going, he said 我累了 means “I’m tired”.
After lunch Andre was drawing in the garage. He likes drawing with chalk over there. He drew a picture with sun, cloud and little rainbow. After we got in the car, Andre said to Mom: I just drew a rainbow. That was the first time he was talked/shared with us about what he did!
We then went to THE AERONAUTS movie event in Pasadena Rose Bowl. All the service people were dressed up and had British ascent as the movie was about a story happened in 1862 flight of some British aeronauts. A lot of fun, free food, drinks, games, photo booth, etc. I got a cup of ginger ale, and let Andre try it. I knew he doesn’t like all kinds of soda, and waited to see what going to happen. He looked at it really carefully, and smell it, as there are some small bubbles in it and it obvious looked specious to him. lol. He put the cup on his mouth but was really hesitate to taste it. After a while, he finally look at me and asked:”What’s this?”I told him it’s ginger flavored soda, and asked do you want to try it? He said no!. That’s really funny! He barely asks question, but we created a perfect opportunity and he had to ask, haha!
There was DJ booth with phonographs and playing some old time music. Andre suddenly said Mama dance! Wow. That' was a surprise to us.
It was a great day!
今天去了热气球电影节,指着ginger ale说了这是什么,刚刚画了彩虹,听着DJ说妈妈跳舞
A lot of activities today! We went to a tennis event in Arcadia first. Andre was really nervous as there were a lot of kids around. He was not able to do anything, kind of freezing over there. He could not even jump… After a while he seemed getting used to this environment a little bit. We helped him to play some games at the booths, and he won some tickets and exchanged some gifts like rubik's cube. He was happy.
After the tennis we went to Pasadena for another event. He decorated a little pumpkin and it started raining. Andre started scripting the paw patrol “it’s raining…“ lol
After lunch we went to Pasadena Model Railroad Club. They had open house today. A lot of model trains! Andre likes train a lot and we stayed there for a while.
And then we went to the Santa Monica Beach. That was the first time Andre like to play the wet sand! We build sand castle together. I dug a hole on sand and made it a mud puddle. Andre was jumping in it for 30 minutes, just like the peppa pig! Very first time! Yay! After he got tired of jumping I put him on the bike and did a ride. He liked riding fast! Keep saying faster. A lot of vestibular imput!
LA Opera had a free opera at santa monica pier tonight starting at 7:30pm but that was too late for us. So we missed it.
Whew, what a day!
参加了网球学校open活动,小飞害怕小朋友,自己的实力发挥不出来,全身僵硬,连蛙跳这种很熟的动作都做不了。
赢了很多小游戏奖券,换礼品的时候还是挺高兴的,还转到一个魔方很开心。
去另一个活动装饰了小南瓜,把所有贴纸都贴了一遍。下雨了,小飞重复着paw patrol里面的台词 its raining!
去然后去看了火车博物馆,喜欢的不得了。
去海滩,今生第一次愿意玩湿沙子!搭了沙堡,还学小猪配齐在水沙坑里跳跳跳!
然后坐爸爸自行车飞快的在沙滩边小路行驶。小飞说 还要快!
La opera had performance at Santa Monica peer, but we couldn't stay that late (7:30 to start).
We went to the science center for the first time. Andre’s favorite thing is the room with the giant screen.
We went to the Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park today, and I was planing let Andre step on sand for a little bit as he was always very sensitive with sand on his feet, and he hasn’t step on sand for months. So when we walk towards the beach I told him we were going to play the sand for a little bit. Andre replied “play the sand for a little bit“. After we got to the beach I put him down (he was already bare feet), he was totally fine!!! No whining, no complaints at all! He was not tolerating it. He was 100% good! I was so surprised! We used a little bucket to build some sandcastles, and he enjoyed it a lot. Also he kicked/played a beach ball. He was so happy!
He was good with sand not because of we put him on sand a lot and desensitized. It’s really because of his nerve system is much more mature and the sensory integration is much better! Nice!
第一次开开心心的玩沙子!感觉大脑整合了,感统自然就好了很多。扣了4个沙堡,还踢了球,不亦乐乎。
I played some piano tonight, and Andre started to dance with the rhythm of Bach BW 974 Adagio! This was the first time!
Andre第一次随着爸爸的钢琴声跳舞,左右脚交换重心晃悠。爸爸弹的是巴赫974 adagio.
The OT Grace pushed Andre a little bit with some difficult fine motor tasks, and surprisingly Andre used some words he never used before asking for help, like “Mom help me to do this“ and “Mom hurry up!“ lol. Very funny. That’s a perfect example that Language is based on social needs.
Grace阿姨fine motor很难,一想帮帮什么都说出来了。比如 妈妈帮我弄,快点儿。。。
追遥控小车上山下山,超级能跑。
自己搬体重秤,假装量身高和体重!!!
This was the first time we came here. Andre had some good time!
We went to the Peter F. Schabarum Regional Park today and brought a beach ball. I’m so surprised he liked to kick a ball! He was never interested in this before. Actually he kicked back and forth with me for 5,6 minutes!
There was a ice cream truck, so we prompted him to buy an ice cream. He started to like ice cream recently. He did not like it before because of the texture and sensory issue. It seem his sensory integration is getting much better now!
今天第一次在公园踢了很久的beach ball!
小飞最近特别爱捣乱。感觉自我和攻击性发展出来了一些真好!
今天超市小飞又笑又闹,一个卖肉叔叔说在外面不可以和妈妈闹,小飞马上就乖了。叔叔一走又开始闹。看来还是很聪明的。
He is really well! Look at him! Very cooperative and calm! His teeth are all good!
今天Andre去了牙医那里,检查了牙齿和洗了牙!非常配合,特别乖,自己拿吸管吸口水。好棒!牙齿全都好好的。他的大槽牙的窝沟都很深,尤其是右下的。医生说一定要仔细刷牙。今天洗牙得了2个小贴纸和一个小车车。
晚上洗完澡不穿尿包,还跑床下,妈妈一嘟嘴就立刻上来了,真的很贴心。
He followed 6 steps in today’s OT session with Grace. Amazing!
Grace阿姨那里能记住6步骤动作了!自己感觉很自豪!
还故意把动做做反。
Finally we got Dorothy with centra pediatric therapy! She is beyond great. We feel really lucky to get her as Andre's OT.
It was just the evaluation, and we were super impressed by how good the Andre’s fine motor skill is. After the 1 hour evaluation, he had not reached the ceiling yet! He kept going on and on and on… We have to do an extended evaluation next time. Dorothy let him cut a circle and he did it successfully! This was his first time. Wow! We felt it pays back after all the effort we put it.
He drove 7 miles today and of course we also run 7 miles after him. lol. He was very happy.
When we came back home, I parked on the street. On way we walked to home, Andre heard there was a little girl laughing at the playground in our community, and he looked at her and told me ”slide”. So we went there played the slide once. This is huge for him. He hasn’t play at that playground for a year, and one reason is that he is afraid of other kids! Very impressive with what he did!
The sleeping was not good in last three days. But that’s fine. It happens once in a while. Usually after bad sleeping, we see he will have some improvement. Probably, his serve system is developing.
Keep pooping in the toilet. Every day I let him poop after dinner, and I will stay with him in the toilet. Andre was whining/complaining/bargaining with me every single time when he was seating on the toilet. I always say “first pooping then do (something)”, he then started whining with a sad face:”don’t want to poop / don’t have eating dinner anymore / don’t have playing with grandma anymore / don’t have ….. “ I will play a poker face and keep telling him pooping first. lol
He took a nap yesterday, as he woke up at 7:30 in the morning and was really sleepy around 2pm. Well the good thing is he got much better energy in the afternoon, but he woke up in the middle of last night for 1.5 or 2 hours… I guess the it’s not the time of completely taking off his nap yet…
去123 pediatric那里第一次要了蓝火车,没要绿火车。
第一次把手里两个玩具都放下,然后2只手端碗喝的醋。
We went to 123 pediatric for a PT session this morning and Andre first time asked for the blue train toy instead of the green one! He always asked the green train before.
At dinner time, first time he put down the toys without prompt and hold a bowl, and drank some vinegar (he likes drinking vinegar)
Mom always uses different cards teaching Andre for his speech. Today Andre grabbed the cards and gave mom a speech therapy session at lunch time. lol
