Doman method and piano
We spent nearly the whole day at home today, so it was easy to complete the 5 sets of words 3 times each ... With the help of a countdown app.
Unrelated to doman methods...Winston was deliberately pressing individual notes on his Melissa and Doug 2 octave mini piano. Up until now he has just bashed it at random.
He understands SIT DOWN. I think he can read it too.... But am not sure.
We've been around the house putting labels on many item..in 3cm high text in Swedish and English. It looks like a house for the chronically forgetful now!
Winstons low point of the day was when he pissed by his piano, then tried to climb on to it and slipped backwards in his puddle of piss..
News of the day.....Baby no.2 is due in December

car and fingers
C or K is obviously a hard sound to make.
My parents gave Winston a big basket of diecast cars to flick through. He examined each one and chucked it aside. On many of them i would tell him CAR or TRUCK or CEMENT MIXER. Now combined with his new pointing skill... any cars that he sees , he points at and shouts ARR ... sounds like a pirate. I dont think he would get bored of standing next to the motorway announcing all the cars that went past!
When he sees the word FINGERS Winston wiggles his fingers.
I've also noticed that when he sees the book with the word HAMMER on the front , he does the hammer action, regardless of what page its on .. so clearly relates the word to the whole book rather than the page with the word HAMMER printed on it.
He is still pointing to books and calling them UMAs (a distortion of ELMER , as in Elmer the elephant) ..
In the last few days Winston has been picking up books and chucking them at me because he wants me to read them to him.
Hardly done any words for the last week, due to travelling and visiting .. looking forward to see how keen Winston is when they get back from Stockholm.
Sicily...

pointing
Winston has started to point with his index finger. He is enjoying testing his new ability.

a book that i made for Winston
He likes this and when he sees the word "hammer" he starts hammering with an imaginery hammer .
He seems to enjoy the format more than with the cards just showing words, so i will be making more 'books' ..
