Bobby was a little grouchy on Friday evening, so we got out some sensory stimulating activities to make him happy and calm him down. Playing in moon sand was the first activity.
Bobby loves to feel this texture between his fingers. He also loves to watch it fall in front of his eyes.
No, it's not snowing!! Just a moon sand shower!!
Throwing it up so that it can fall in front of his eyes.
After the moon sand fun was over, I washed out the sand box. I decided to fill the box with water since I already had the hose out. It took Bobby a little while before he got interested in the water because it wasn't very hot out. First he put his hands in and splashed around.
His bottom is dirty from sitting in a pile of dirt before he came over to play in the water. He then got over the coldness of the water and sat down to have some real fun.
Amazing how this makes him so happy. Love the smile on his face.
Now the whole body needs to wet. Hey Bobby, we have a swimming pool!!
He found his favorite cups and started pouring the water in front of his eyes for some visual stimulation...
He pours it into his mouth and lets the water run out...
Then he started pouring it over his body...
Bobby then remembered that we have a swimming pool, jumped up out of the sand box and ran over to the pool gate and waited for it to be opened.
More Bobby smiling, less Bobby grouchiness!!!
You have to make BIG splashes!!!
Bobby got out, we went inside got ready for bed, watched a little TV and had a great evening. It is amazing how sensory stimulation changes this boy's attitude!!!
