WEEK 25-SON-RISE DAY 31 - Rohan was more playful

Rohan has been going though NAET therapies also. And we noticed some regression in Rohan's behavior in terms of interaction and eye contact. So we reduced the therapies from twice a week to once per week. And we can see that Rohan is again more interactive. Rohan is still trying to find his sounds and is still more comfortable with Ba sound.

I went downstairs with Rohan in the son-rise room. Rohan pointed at the Gym Ball making "Ba" sound. I took the Ball down from the shelf. He was pushing me in gentle way like telling me "sit down on the ball". Then he sat in my lap and again made B sound. This was indication that Rohan wants to Bounce on the ball. Rohan seemed very happy while bouncing on the ball.

In between when I stopped he will get down from the ball and will run around the room. He will eat his chopped fruit from the tupperware using fork, drop the fruit on the carpet. He tried to put fruit back in plastic tupperware but won't like it sticking to his hand. He will close the tupperware, and if it wont close would get frustrated. I will ask him if he wants help and he will use sign language to tell me 'Ye's. After that we will bounce on the ball again.

Above cycle went like 4 to 5 times.

At one point he sat down and started stimming with food in his hand. I took some toys in my hand and joined him. When ever he looked at me I will try to grab his attention to play some other game. And we ended up reading "Dora" book. Rohan even pointed at the Ball in the book and then pointed at the ball in the room.

Rohan did scribbling using colors on the chalk board.

After wards we started running game. I will count 1,2 and run . And we both will run to other end of the room. Afterwards I changed the count from 1 to 5 and run. Rohan enjoyed this game also. It seemed we were back to old days, days before the regression.

In between Rohan wanted to come out of the room. he tried for like 15 minutes. But I praised him, made him understand. He did cried little bit for not letting him out of the room. But finally after 15 minutes of try he was fine again and back to the running game.

Now he just wanted to stay int he room. Time was up so I asked him "Lets Go out of the room" .

It was wonderful session. I am just hoping for Rohan that he can say more words :)
