Sachin was seated at the dining table when I greeted him today. He had just finished his pot of afternoon tea, so I prompted him up and we prepared the pot for tomorrow. He was focused, but did get very particular about one of the teabags. We then sat back down together and waited for dinner. Sach downed the main part of his food very quickly, but then apparently could not decide whether to lick his plate or not. It took approx. 15 minutes of prompting and encouragement before he finally licked his plate and brought it to the sink for me to clean. I then prompted him to the toilet, he tried to walk out before actually going, but I ushered him back in (large output). I then cleaned his teeth, we prepped teas, and then headed to the programme’s room. Sachin’s bpm was good and he was focused, albeit he was fussy about how pieces were being put in. We finished up at 1939, and sat on the couch. I got him his tea and a snack at 2000, even though the snack was different, he still didn’t want to eat (unless hand fed by his mum). He had a good heart rate. No issues. Toilet again at 2100, large output.

Zach was sitting at the dining table when I walked in. He appeared rested and was smiling and chatting. We played with the wooden blocks while waiting for dinner. Sach got up a couple times during this, and was running and skipping around the kitchen with a big grin on his face. His good mood could potentially be attributed to what was for dinner, which was chicken drumsticks in a curry sauce. Once dinner was finished, I helped Sach clean up and wash his hands, then prompted him to toilet (medium) and brushed his teeth. Sachin took his sweet time when prepping his tea, and we then headed to the programme’s room at approx. 1800. We finished the current puzzle and then moved onto the next. He needed nil prompting or assistance with starting the new puzzle, and his bpm was between 68-75 the whole time. We finished up at 1930 and sat on the couch with Praveena. Sach took approx. 45 mins to properly calm and settle. He refused to eat his corn chips. Toilet again at 2045 (medium). His bpm was excellent after approx. 2015 (below 75). Nil issues.
