Stacking

Today, we were in a stacking sort of mood.  Sorry to say, we have no blocks to stack (Santa might have to remedy this soon!)  We do, however, have plenty of stackable items in our household.  We stacked spices, we stacked rigatoni pasta, and we even stacked chicken nuggets come lunch time.

Our target words for the day:

• Here
• Uh Oh
• Yay
• Up
• Down

I emphasized each word with an action.  I said 'here' when handing him items to stack; I said 'Yay' when stacking was successful; I said 'Uh Oh' when our stack fell over; I said 'Up' as we built up our towers of spices, rigatoni and chicken nuggets and 'Down' when then came tumbling down.

Stacking rigatoni.  The Fruit Loops were meant for stacking too, but they ended up
getting eaten instead.

Adding a little spice to our lives.

Overall, today's activities were a huge success.  I feel that by constantly engaging him in these language-rich activities, we are making progress.  We are winning the battle to take back the words he has said in the past and seemingly lost!

Spoken Words Today:

• Here
• Uh Oh
• Yay
• Again (so proud of this brand new unintentional word - he wanted to keep stacking and started repeating this when I asked if he wanted to do it again!)
