Sachin and Praveena were at art classes when I arrived. I busied myself by tidying the programme’s room and packing away dishes. They arrived back at 1620. Praveena started cooking dinner while I helped Sach prepare his tea for tomorrow. We ate dinner together and prepared teas - while the water was boiling, we cleaned his teeth and I prompted Sach to toilet. He went right away - medium output. We poured teas and headed to programmes room. Sachin was keen to get started. I was strict from the beginning with him pushing the pieces and bending them - and he stopped doing it for over 2 whole lines. We finished up at 1930 and sat in couch with mum. I made teas at 2000 and prompted Sachin to the toilet - medium output. We sat back on the couch with snack and a hot water bottle and watched black mirror with Praveena. His heart rate was predominantly in the 70ms throughout the evening but did spike to around 90 for approx. 20 minutes while on the couch - Praveena and I kept a close eye on him and he calmed down after a time.
