Esme has been asking me two weeks now where her gold pants and blue shirt are - not in a mean way, which is good.. but I haven't gotten to them. I know that means she wears one of two or three coordinating items each week for Blue and Gold day.... And I've had days off - we've just been focusing on other things, like her behavior, reading and math. I have the blue and gold fabric ready to lay out. But, the chair I was making for her is also taking up the table and I haven't dove back into it yet. I also promised a playground trip and 'fun things' this weekend if she brings home a moderately good report 5-10 minute timeouts per day etc.. I think she is there - and I will take her out and spend time with her regardless.
She is making so much progress. Her words still turn inside-out sometimes and she will pick the wrong one and not even notice it still. Sometimes she corrects herself, other times I have to choose if it is a good time to correct her. She is also picking up lots of other phrases from school she wouldn't get at home, and trying to use them, and when I ask her about a word I am not sure she knows she often gives me a good definition of it. We talked about 'obstacle' the other day and 'reception' today. We've been talking about 'the rest of'', 'since' and the topic of verbs vs. nouns and nouns becoming verbs vice-versa. She keeps surprising me, which is excellent.
This is also the weekend before the 'full week on', so if I don't accomplish some things in the next few days it will have to wait a long time to get a moment.
I have been wrapping my brain around the math course I am taking online and I think it is coming along very well - it is not for credit - although it could be if I arranged to get into one of the study groups and really participate... with clothes to make and work and other homeworks, I think my efforts are pretty good.
