Michael and I didn't recognize each other for some weird reason today. He was sitting in a chair upstairs and I almost walked by him but stopped. It was kinda funny. He showed me his new boots that he bought with Jerry yesterday. They look pretty cool :) We had some coffee together and then did Michael's exercises. He was counting good today. We even worked with the weights. He showed me his D.I. card and said he wanted to go there today. I found a cork board that I told him he should get. He bought 3 new shirts and some socks too. We went to lunch at McDonald's "It's as good a place as any." He was trying to tell me what we needed for the cork board and was getting frustrated. I was thinking he was telling me we needed a hammer but it was push pins. It's kinda funny, it came with a few and was just the right amount for what we needed now. He walked me up to my car and then went to listen to a guitar player. 

It was a short day today, I had an appointment. Michael was telling me really well using sentences about the 'treasures' he got from a former neighbor. He used about 2-3 really good sentences! We spent today cleaning/straightening up his room and putting things away. We worked on his exercises and he was having a hard time with counting again. We also worked on the fill in the blank/word paper and then he went up to lunch. He was saying that he might go fishing today.

When I came over on Friday I noticed the Macgyver chair. Jerry rigged some speakers so that Michael could listen to his TV without it being so loud. I talked to Jerry about coming on Thursday's instead of Friday's. I'll start that next week. A girl came to the door to see if Michael wanted to go up and make some frozen yogurt. We went up and did that. It turned out pretty good. We came back and did exercises and then worked on Monosyllic, Bisyllic and Trisyllic words., I had him repeat after me and tell me everything we did today. It's good practice to help form sentences. He walked me to the door and went to lunch.

We finished our Turkeys today. It was messier than I thought it would be but they turned out.pretty cute. Michael liked them ;) After we were done with the Turkey's Michael wanted to go to Walgreen's, he was showing me that he was out of coffee. I told him he had enough to last a few days but he didn't think so. When we were driving to Walgreen's he pointed to Crown Burger and said that's where we were going for lunch. I finally signed him up for a Walgreen's card so he can save a bit of money. :) He called Jerry after lunch and told him he was out of money. We went back and did exercises and lifted weights and then he choose to do the matching word to picture paper. Jerry came over and we finished up so he could go to the bank. (Michael was trying to tell me about Jerry catching a goose but Jerry said they went fishing and he caught a duck!) It's a nice day out today.

We worked on getting our turkey's ready to make. We cut out forms for the body, cut out feathers and cut out some turkeys. I need to get a few more supplies and then we can finish

them. We worked on exercises afterwards and Michael was having a hard time focusing on counting. We got them done though and then he went up to lunch. 

It snowed today! Michael was telling me he was going to get new glasses, cool! He showed me a word search that he has in his room. We put the Halloween decorations in the holiday drawer and threw away the pumpkins. They were getting ugly :/ We worked with the weights, did exercises and worked on some of the word search then we went up for lunch. There was a cute turkey on the table and Michael said "We can make one of those". I was up for that! (I was surprised how long he worked on the word search after lunch. He finished the whole thing!) He wanted to go somewhere and when I mentioned going to the store to pick up some things to make a turkey, he said OK, let's go! He was excited :) when we went outside "God damn it's cold!" He said that at lunch too about his steak and made one of the guys at the table laugh. We went to Dollar Tree and we have some things to make really inventive turkeys ;) He wanted to go to Best Buy too. He picked up a couple things he said he needed. 

I didn't go over on Friday, I wasn't feeling well.
