Pop the Pig

It’s been really nice to have an extra kiddo in the afternoons this quarantine for a couple of reasons but the biggest is that it gives us someone sort of peer-ish for Dominic to practice his turn taking and social skills with.  

Savannah (our ST) advised me that even tho I only caught the last 6 minutes this was a full 15 minutes of interaction.  

She is incredibly impressed with the following changes since we started full days with Rachel who we are so grateful can still take care of kids of essentials workers (never mind that they learn during that time):

- better mood / compliance than when he was at public school all day

- clearer verbals

- initiation. As in he is asking to interact.  

We practiced his messenger video conversation with his friend and let me tell you it’s really amusing with filters.
