Sunglasses

I just have to tell a little tale of something that happened with Philip that made my day! I was driving him to an appointment yesterday and mentioned that I had forgotten my sunglasses and I was annoyed at myself. A moment later, Philip used his Dynavox to say, "Glasses" twice. I was so surprised and said something silly like, "Yes! My sunglasses!" Then he went to a phrase based part of the device and said the phrases, "Do you have..." and "We have..." and I said, " Are you saying that you have sunglasses at your house that I could borrow?" I looked in the rearview mirror and saw him indicate "Yes." I was SO excited that I jumped up and down ( as safely as one can do while driving a mini-van) and screamed and almost cried! He thought that was hilarious. It meant a lot to me, not because he was offering to loan me sunglasses - although that was nice, but because he doesn't often make comments voluntarily. I'm so proud of him!

Philip the Trash Man

•Philip and I have started putting a new powerpoint story together. He chose the topic of vehicles and gave me three words to focus my search of pictures: trashtruck, gas and forklift.

I got a bunch of pictures and put them together in a powerpoint. Now, he and I are writing the text for the book.

We decided that Philip was going to use his imagination to pretend he was someone else and write as if he was a trash man.

Here's what we wrote:

I like Mailtruck Mailtruck Tractor Trash truck Trash truck Mailtruck Mailtruck. Bike Gas Gas Gas Tractor ( But he likes trash trucks best.)

The Great Camera Hunt!

Yesterday, Philip asked to use the digital camera. But we couldn't find it...so we went on a hunt around the house. Philip was full of suggestions for where to look for it...
