"Spell for me 'A'...'A'' for apple"...'
I heard this said by a little gal below my block to her parents as I sat here figuring out the activities I should be doing for my toddlers tomorrow for the theme I've chosen - 'Apple' =)
Well, I wouldn't expect my 14-18mo to speak a full sentence, maybe just the word 'apple', but that alone makes them and me happy.
I drew a tree trunk last Friday and had them paste leaves on them. They were already so excited. Wonder how it'll be like to had them paste apples on it =)
I've learnt that a child as young as them are very observant. I remember the day I bought a music book and place it on the piano. The moment they stepped into the room, all of them noticed the minor change and gather around the piano...wow...I wonder at times even if an adult would notice such change.
This week will be an apple week activity for me. Some things I had in mind for them to do such as exploring a real apple, rolling the apples, hiding it, 'stamp' paint, and cutting and eating it together with them. Will see how they will respond to it =)
Wow I just receive a call from one of the parent I used to work with in my previous company whose daughter has autism and it was only this afternoon my friend was sharing with me about her husband's twin nephews who has autism and about her friend in choir who works with autistic kids as well. Having only worked with them a few times, it's not been an easy experience for me and I honor parents and professions who give their love and time to them =)
