Cal - 10/20/2021
Callahan ate two servings of French toast and ate dried plums for breakfast. For lunch he ate two servings of pulled pork, bites of whole wheat dinner roll, ate peas/carrots, and two servings of strawberries.
I love stories about young children who are only capable of "concrete thinking." In our English language we use LOTS of phrases that I would call a "play on words." The phrase or word means something different than the original meaning. One obvious example; "raining cats and dogs." (That example is probably an old school phrase!!) Here's an example of concrete thinking, but with a twist. We were watching a man pedal a bicycle with no hands. I said, "Look Ma! No hands." (Old school again.) Cal was very very serious when he pointed at my hands and said, "You DO have hands. Right there." I love that.
This picture is left over from yesterday afternoon - Cal's shirt was a bit wet from nap "overflow" so it was in the dryer. Cal held up this "thing" and said, "This is you Gary. This is your face." Hahaha. Then he said something I say to him all the time; "Hi Gary, what's your name?" LOL! Good one Cal! "Hi Cal! What's your name!?!"
Next picture: Cal asked to do puzzles right after breakfast. That's the first time he's initiated doing puzzles and asked for them. He did 7 different puzzles very quickly - the puzzle in the picture he did two times. This puzzle only has the shapes on the board, not the picture. Good work Cal. Meanwhile Svea was simply watching and she'd cheer when he'd complete the puzzle. That was super sweet Svea. She was doing a great job of just watching and not offering simply showing him the answers. Last picture: I'm not sure what these two were doing, but I just thought it was cute how their sitting position is so similar. Also, whatever they're doing with their leg or foot is similar as well.
