I applied antibiotic cream supplied by mom onto Santino's mosquito bites, which are primarily on his legs, and sprayed the exposed area of his skin with OFF insect repellent spray. By the end of the session, this seemed to have alleviated the itching and the bites did not appear as irritated as when he had arrived. I am suggesting that Santino bring a pair of light pants to the program to prevent him from being bitten. Today, we worked with large, colorful pieces of sidewalk chalk. Santino initially expressed interest and made a few parallel lines on the sidewalk; however it did not sufficiently engage his interest to continue the activity for longer than approximately 5 minutes. I afforded him physical prompts to help him write his name in chalk before moving on to physical activities using a forward roll wedge and a large punching bag that contained water in its base with which to support it. Santino greatly enjoyed manipulating these two pieces of equipment and imitated the movements shown to him. He was delighted to have his legs supported as we attempted forward rolls, and he then performed the forward roll himself, independent of prompts. If he needed assistance, Santino guided my hand and led me to the apparatus he wished to use. He observed me push over the punching bag with my body and attempted to do likewise, taking my hand and placing it on the punching bag in a clear indication that he wished to topple it over. We did this repeatedly to squeals of delight. Once, when it rolled on top of another piece of equipment, Santino said "Whoa," using the phrase appropriately at the right time. He often uses this phrase at other appropriate times involving physical activities; however, it does not dissuade him from completing the activity. He enjoys using props found in the classroom or outside, experimenting with them as he examines their properties. He pressed his face against the badminton racquet after we used it to bat around a birdie, and he peered through its webbed grid inquisitively; he balanced a chair on different sides, rocking and then jumping off it; and he used a balloon I had given him today, pushing it down the slide, both with and without him sliding down behind it, and observed as it was caught in the wind. These activities and opportunities provide him with information about the properties and applications of objects. We finished the session watering some plants in the garden before washing our hands. Santino drank a bottle of Pediasure and lay down on a mat at the end of the session. I read him a book as he relaxed and finished the bottle.
