I called Michael Thursday night to let him know I wouldn't be over in the morning. My dad is in the hospital. I will see him on Tuesday though and we can work on getting his flower pots looking better.  I bought some colored construction paper to put around the base of the flowers.

When I walked in, Michael was showing me a box. He said it was for me! It was wrapped in tissue. He bought me a watch! I asked him where he got it from and he said “Don’t you worry about that”. He’s always trying to buy me things or saying he’s going to buy me

things. I don’t like to accept gifts, but he had it in a box for me and seemed happy to give it to me. What a thoughtful and sweet guy! :) We went to Home Depot and he picked out some shade flowers for his room. When we got back, we got the flowers set up then practiced his words, sentences and phrases. I had him tell me what we did today and after I was talking about the flowers I said "And then we" and Michael said "Liken em" Great responce! He went up to lunch after that. 

I found Michael sitting upstairs today. It's nice to see him up and about. We went downstaris and did  exercises together. We worked on his word, phrase and sentence's paper. He was having a hard time with it the other day but he did so good today! I think it's the best he has done :) he was talking really good today too. I had to leave a little early, he walked me to my car and then he went to lunch.

Michael made us some coffee this morning. We did his exercises and he did really well with counting and the exercises too. ;) I had him call Jerry; he had called a couple of times over the weekend. We worked on his word, phrases and sentences paper while we sat by the sunshine by the window. On the way up to lunch, we asked about planting flowers outside his window but it's too shady. We talked about getting some plants/flowers for his room. He said that sounded like a good idea but "Not today". 
He didn't feel like going out today.
Before we left I had him put a DVD in so he can watch a movie later.

I didn't get to Michael's place until later than usual. I wasn't feeling good. I sat with him for a few minutes up in the cafeteria but had to leave. I hope he has a nice weekend :)

Michael said he wanted to go somewhere. When I asked him where, he showed me the DI card. He looked around but didn't stay as long as he usually does. He just said "Let's go". I mentioned to him that we have a picnic in the park; it was such a nice day. "Ya we can do that" :) We went and picked up some lunch and took it over to Sugarhouse Park. We walked around and looked at the ducks too :)

When I came over I noticed on the calendar that it was the Activities Director last day! She is leaving to be a Mom :) I thought we should go up and have Michael do one last activity with her. They were making cookie and gum drop  flowers. Michael made three of them :) When he was done with that we worked on his exercise's, matching word to picture's. We got out for a little bit after that.

I wasn't over too long today. I think We just went for a walk, looked at the flowers and visited.

Michael was upstairs doing an activity. They were making pudding, oreo and gummy worm 'dirt' dessert. it was fun to hear them all saying they were eating dirt ;) We went down and did exercises and then the word matching to picture's and then putting those words in sentences. 


Friday April 19, and Tuesday April 23 

We worked on exercises, word matching and sentences. He has been choosing the word matching to do lately. I made more words for him to match on the other side of his paper. He does a good job :)
