Our Day

Junior was a bit on the quiet side but still had a good day.  Was up early and in his stander before his school session.  He wanted music during stander time and was thrilled when he discovered I had programed his ipad to ask Alexa to turn on the music he chose.  He chose the Beach Boys so his communication app then automatically said "Alexa play prime music Beach Boys".  The neat thing was this allowed him to feel like he could independently turn on his music choice.  We quickly discovered though that the digital voice on his proloquo2go could not always be understood by Alexa so it was kind of hit and miss when it would get his music choice correct.  At least his favorite is currently Beach Boys and it understands that one well.  A work in progress but we will keep at it and maybe one day they will update and allow us to record our own voice instead of needing to use the one on the app. 

 In his wheelchair by the window, listening to a story, and playing with his toys.  I caught him snoozing which he decided was hysterical.

 Had to call grandma and tell her about turning on his music all by himself.

 School time, started off well but then he decided he was in no mood for a quiz and kept answering NO to every question.  I finally told him No was not going to work and if he wanted to finish and do something else he was going to need to answer the questions.  Hmmm, suddenly he knows them all and is done in 2 minutes.  As the pics show he wasn't happy about it but at least he did them.

 He got this cool wall sticker for the ceiling in his room and he thinks it is very cool.  He spends more time then most in his room so we try to make sure it is full of fun things to look at.

 Some random pics from our day.  Junior's lift got its makeover for Memorial day and the 4th of July, and lots of goofiness.
