We are starting to have more scheduled activites with Will so he gets used to a routine, including taking pictures of the different things we do together and creating a picture schedule so he can learn more words and have a better understanding of what we are doing and when. It will also help us make more time for therapy lessons to help Will progress. We got this fabulous idea from Super Nanny Jo during an episode dealing with twin girls and a boy with Autism. We are pretty sure Will will have some level of Autism and are going to get him further evaluated since the Sensory Processing Disorder doesn't seem to cover all the little things we are noticing with Will.
Anyway, included in his new daily routine is working to learn the alphabet. It seems from our research, once kids learn the alphabet and the different sounds, they can progress leaps and bounds from when they didn't know it. This is the picture that will represent the alphabet lesson card. I love it since he is looking at the camera and had to share it! He is super at repeating A-G, with the exception of C and G. F he says like "Efck", but it counts. We are going to focus on one line at a time, and so far he is good at repeating all 26 letters on command, but has a harder time pronuncing some of them. He recognizes B and D! YEAH!
This will be his Bath picture! He actually gave me a smile :D Can you tell I am super excited?
This is not a particular picture for the schdule, but I love the M&Ms melted all over his face! Blue, green and brown are very tasty! I personally like to chew them right away, but Will LOVES to suck them. We both prefer the M&M Peanut Butter variety. I just had to throw this one in there!
This is my FAVORITE picture of probably the last several months! A genuine smile for the camera without us having to make fools out of ourselves to capture his attention! This melts my heart! It will also be his Breakfast picture. He looks so handsome in an Uncle Kevin shirt!

Thanks for sharing this great idea!!! The pictures are too cute!! Good luck with everything. Having a mother who is a teacher is an added bonus in these situations!
What great pictures! You guys do such a fabulous job of parenting him. Miss you tons. XOXO
What an adorable pic! Love it!
He's getting so big!
What a good idea! I keep meaning to get more organized with my kids' days too (aside from eating, sleeping, playing, cleaning, not going crazy...), so you might have just been my motivation!! :) I didn't even know Will was dealing with any learning issues. I hope you're able to get it all figured out! It sounds like what you're doing will be great.
