Chronicle of Zhou Duo: TWO MONTHS HOME

I can't believe it has been two months since Joseph has been home. He is making great progress and seems to happy all the time. His vocabulary is growing and I can understand him but unfortunately most others can't understand his pronunciations. I will be adding speech therapy to his schedule soon.

I am learning how to keep him occupied and encourage him to stay on his feet as much as possible. Play dough keeps him occupied for about 30 minutes.

I love Pintrest, so many ideas for activities. We made Cloud Dough, 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil. It had a consistency of wet sand. Joseph enjoyed making it and playing with it. I have it saved in a zip lock bag, not sure how long it lasts?

He likes to cook dinner for us. His favorite part of cooking is putting the food in the oven (real oven in the kitchen) and setting the timer. This is a great way to encourage him to walk from the living area to the kitchen. He sets the table with food so we are ready to eat by the time Mark gets home for work and surprise him.

We made a snake.

I was surprise how the paint dried in such vibrant colors.

OK, has anyone did this?

I attempted to trip Joseph's hair and literally shaved it! I continued to cut it thinking I can salvage it...I finally gave up and took him in to the professionals. I was just amazed of how Joseph trust me. I made a mess out of his hair but he just sat there and smiled.
