Sunday we bought a new lens Nikon 24-70 mm VR, and William became our model for testing the lens.

The boy looks so handsome; and we love the lens :).

The owner sold it for $1,700.00 which is a good price considering the current market price for the new one is $2,400.00.  Even though it’s used but the owner, a friend of ours from photography group used it for a half year only.

This picture was taken in front of the lens seller’s house; which is a very nice house in Anaheim city by the way.

William is 4 years old.

When it’s weekend, Tim likes to take William out for a short morning walk around the neighborhood.  The flower trees are blooming so beautiful during this time of year.  Every time we pass by this house, William always want to touch the tile before continue on.

William was near by when I tried to arrange the fruits on the tray so I took the opportunity to test him on the name of the fruits; he knows them all.  Then he started to drum using the chopsticks on the fruits.  He had so much fun playing drum that he would not want to to bed!

So I started a little game where I’d say the name of the fruit and then he’d hit that fruit with the chopsticks.  Fun little game!

Valentine’s day we bought some dipped chocolate strawberries for the teachers at Mitchell as well as the teachers at the Children world preschool.

After calling Providence Hearing and Speech Center a few times, we finally have the date set up for William’s speech therapy, it’s every Tuesday until March 17, 2018 at 12:00 P.M., and today is the first day.

I picked up William around 11:30 at Mitchell school and took him to Providence Center which is around 15 minutes away (Bushard St. and Warner St.).   It was our first time so the specialist Kristi worked with me on some paperwork while her assistant Jennifer was playing with William.  William came straight to the table that has toys and played with it right away, he did not show any signs of afraid of the new environment.

Thursday Evening.  William has ABA session with ABEST’s Behavorial Technician Selestie at 5:30 PM as usual.

He gave me his bottle of juice and said “Open”.  But the bottle’s cover is already open; I’m a little surprised because I know he knows that it’s open and ready to drink.  So I just closed the cover and then opened it and then handed it back to him.  He said Open again and showed signs of frustration and about to throw tantrums.  I took a closer look at the bottle and found out that the straw came off the top lid.   So what he really wanted me to do is to open the whole lid to fix the straw!  I felt bad that I did not understand him at first and caused him some frustration.  As a Mom I should know him better.  So I took off the lid, fixed the straw and gave the bottle back to him.  He took it and drank the juice because he understood that he could drink now with the straw is attached.

William is a smart boy, it’s just that communication is a big problem to him.  If he can talk or at least can convey what he wants then I’m sure he’ll show less signs of frustrations.  Most of the time he throws tantrums is because others don’t understand what he wants/says.
