Michael made us coffee and then we worked on his flash cards and his words and putting sentences together. We did exercises afterwards and then we went upstairs to have lunch. We met Lori, she's a new resident. She sat with us at lunch. 

We started out with exercises first and then we went to Walgreen's to get more coffee. He picked out a good one! He got a really good deal. He asked where we were going after, I mentioned going to the thrift store on 33rd So. He said Ok. We looked around a bit then I drove him back so he could have lunch.

Today after we did exercises we worked on some words. I had Michael go and get his sentence paper that he gave away. Jane was holding it for us ;) I told him on Friday if he still wanted to go to D.I. that we would go today. He said he wanted go and I told him we were just going to look today. I lost him for a few minutes and he found a movie. It was only $1.00. He wanted to stop and get coffee but I told him we could get it on Friday and that he would have enough. I helped him put his new movie in and then he walked me upstairs and went to lunch.

Michael gave me a hug when I came in. He had me sit down and handed me a box! It was from Backyard Birds. He bought me a pair of earrings! So nice, thank you Michael! He kept asking if I liked them, I kept telling him I did ;) I wore them and he nodded his head that he liked them.
 He was showing me that he was out of razors. We did his exercises first and then went to the store. We went for a little drive afterwards and he saw 'Toys'. We went to the Red Balloon Toy Store. (He was showing me his truck earlier and wants to get a trailer to go behind it. I told him we could go and look but not buy anything today). They didn't have what he was looking for. We noticed a thrift store called Thrift on 33rd. He wanted to go there. He said he might like to go back there another time too. We went to a lot of places in a short time today.

Michael did his exercises and did a really good job! We did some word matching and then went to the store. When we got back he went up to lunch. He saw a billboard and said "Boat Show". He said he wanted to go. It's sometime in early February.

Michael was showing me the snow outside and asking me when they were going to clean it up ;) I told him it would melt. We started off by doing his exercises. He was having a hard time concentrating and counting today. After Michael's exercises we practiced reading words and then went downstairs, they were having an art activity; making cherry blossom trees out of pink crate paper. He made his tree and then we went to lunch. He picked up his picture after lunch and walked me to the door. I'll add in the pictures I took of him and his cherry blossom tree.

 Today we worked on matching games, counting money and exercises. He can count better when there are no distractions or things he can read. I had him do some fill in the blanks and then we went up to lunch. I have been working on getting him to tell the girls what he wants to eat for lunch. We went to the front desk to ask about a haircut and they said the person would be in on Thursday. He walked me to the door and I told him I would be back on Friday.

Today we took down the Christmas decorations and put them away until next year. I downloaded more games on my kindle fire for Michael. We worked on counting money, matching cards and then we did his exercises and then went up to lunch. We came back down and played some more memory games and he was going to go to Park City today at 2:00. Hopefully he went and got to get out of the fog. I mentioned to him that I will be coming Tuesday's and Friday's starting next week. His January calendar finally came and we highlighted some things for him to do for the next week.
