Michael looked nice today, it looked like he had just shaven. We worked on his exercises  He wanted to do the picture/word matching paper's so we worked on that first. After that he worked on his 'sentance making' flashcards. I had to help him a little with that today. He asked me if I wanted to go up and have lunch with him. After lunch he wanted me to watch a movie with him. I told him I could for a few minutes but then had to go. Jerry called while I was there and when I went to leave, Michael told me "No, you can't go Jerry wants you to wait." I didn't want to second guess him so I waited for a little while. I ended up calling Jerry and he didn't say that he needed me to stay. That guy ;) 

At the end of the day I realized I didn't go over to Michaels! I totally forgot. I had a bunch of things I had to get done in the morning and just forgot :/ I hope he has a good weekend.

I made some new flashcards for Michael and he did really well with them. I have single words on cards that form small sentences. He can put them together in the right order. We worked on his exercises too. We went upstairs for lunch and then to Walgreens to pick up a few things that he needed. He's so nice, he's always wanting to buy me things. I have to be careful what I say or he'll just say "Let's get that for you".  He's such a nice and caring guy :) 

Michael opened his door just as I was about to knock. He must have known I was there ;) We cleaned his bathroom with the wipes he has and then I took a look at his VCR player, cause he told me "I need you to help me figure this out". We were going to do his exercises when he showed me he was getting low on coffee. I told him we could go get more on Tuesday. He said "Here I'll do this and you do that". He got the water and I got the coffee and we had a little coffee while we did his exercises. I had him do word matching today. He read some of his exercises and that was enough for today. He had a hard time with it.
I'm thinking of making flashcards with just one word on them and let him put them together to make short sentences. 

Michael had his hair cut over the weekend, it looks really nice :) We did his exercises first and then we spent a lot of time on his word matching papers and his words, sentences and phrases. He did a really good job! It was time for lunch and he decided he wanted to go out.

He couldn't tell me where but said "I'll show you". We went to Linda's furniture first and then we ended up at D.I. and he bought a new video. He wanted to go to lunch after wards and showed me where he wanted to go. We went to McDonalds and then I took him back to his place. We set up a movie before we left so he would have something to watch when he got back.

We worked on Michael's exercises and did the word matching and sentences that are on his papers. He was able to say a few that he usually has a hard time on. He did a good job. He walked me to the front door and then went and had lunch. He was anxious to go and eat.

It was a nice day and we wanted to go out. Michael said he wanted to go to D.I. to get some towels. I cleaned the bathroom before we left. Michael helped me a little bit and then showed me the card for D.I.. "Let's go". We picked out some towels and looked around for a while then he said he wanted to go to lunch. He was telling me which way to drive and we ended up at McDonalds. After lunch we walked over to Walgreens to get some disinfecting wipes for his place. I showed him how to use them and left them in his bathroom. We put a movie in before I left.
