A record of the boys’ achievements this month (only started at the end of the month!)
September 26th
Max
- Slept through 3 nights in a row
- Held his head up for 15 seconds
Hector
- Went upstairs and requested a bath and was then in his bed trying to sleep less than an hour later, showing he knew he was tired and wanted to sleep
- Took me by the hand and got me to sit down with him several times, either to show me lego or for unknown reasons. Seemed to want me on his level.
- Completed his vehicle jigsaw 5 times in a row
- Stepped back from the oven at the word ‘hot’
- When I said ‘You’ve cheated and left your fire engine there’ he took it out of the jigsaw
- Appeared to sing parts of Old Mcdonald and Heads, shoulders, knees and toes
- Went down the slide the correct way appearing to respond to commands

September 27th
Hector

Max

September 28th
Hector
- Watched Isobel throwing rings into paddling pool for a few seconds. After school, copied me throwing rings in/out of paddling pool.
- Said ‘ba bye’ while walking away from me in garden.
- Led me to step and to sit on grass with him pointing to path where Isobel had drawn in chalk

September 29th
Max
- Spent at least 10 minutes on baby gym, including half of this on his tummy
- Was happy to be in his bouncer (with dummy in)
Hector
- Led all three of us outside and sat us down to watch him play, coming back to fetch us again if we left
- Led me into the living room and led me around it and then in speech pattern was trying to tell me something
- When Max was picked up by Isobel requested to be picked up
September 30th
Hector
- Touched less things on the walk home including not touching the wooden fence
- Able to be redirected when he needed to run at the library
- Walked rather than ran away when he got bored taking out books
