While working on our visual perception worksheets this morning, Bubs wrote on his shirt with a dry erase marker. (We use plastic covers on the worksheets so that they can be used over and over again.) If you have ever marked on your clothes with a dry erase marker, you know that it does not come out. I immediately sprayed it but knew that it was a ...

Visual Perception
Now that I have all of the visual perception worksheets made, Bubs and I are working on them each afternoon. We took the 1-1 worksheets from each of the categories. For that, I saw which ones I need to make more of and which ones I feel like he has pretty well. The drawing continues to be the hardest. Bubs continually wants to draw "/" & "" ...
Looking Back
You know that list that you have of things that you want to ask God? Mine is pretty long actually. But one of the questions that I have is "why was Bubs my first born?" The reason why I wonder this is because there are so many things that I would have done differently if I would have known. I know that I have high expectations for our children, ...
Others See It Too
We spent time with family this weekend to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. Bubs had a really good weekend. He enjoyed the time with family and all that that includes!Bubs just completed his 6th month in therapy. It was so encouraging to hear more than once "I can see a difference in Bubs." His uncle commented about how much stronger he ...

We continue to work on Bub's visual perception by looking for activities to help. I had googled "visual perception activities" to hopefully find some ideas. I just came up frustrated. Our therapist suggested googling "visual perceptual activities". I hit gold!I found this wonderful site at Ed Helper that has almost 75 worksheets that are ...
Remind me…
Yesterday was an AWFUL day for Little Bubs. Bad choice after bad choice occurred. At one point he jumped up and down screaming for 15 minutes outside trying to get control (sure glad we live in the country!!). I even tried to do a special activity, just the two of us, of making cookies to try and help curve the downward spiral. Last evening, my ...
Go Bubs!!
As you know, Bubs really struggles with phonetic awareness. We started the computer program Earobics with the hopes of improving these issues to eventually help him learn to read. And it is working!!!!Before starting the program I would sound out a word for Bubs and he would be unable to put the word together. Yesterday, Daddy and I communicated by ...

Better
I am very thankful to say that Bubs has calmed down immensely this week. The divergent of company last weekend definitely helped. PTL!On Monday night, we took a walk as a family. It was bed time and Daddy and I wanted to get one more "lap" in. So, we explained to Bubs and Sweet Pea that we were going to walk one more time. They were supposed to ...
Earobics
Bubs has trouble with listening as well as distinguishing sounds. Our occupational therapist suggested the computer program "Earobics". She used it with her own daughter and had great success. After looking at it, I was sold immediately. This is a WONDERFUL program. Bubs spends 15 minutes a day using the program. The "clown" game plays different ...
