Oh I am NancI :o) It's just that it seems wasted on the blocks game :o) I DO
understand that the game teaches him colors and small as opposed to
big...but GEEZ LOUISE...how many times does he have to prove that he knows
for gosh sakes???!!!


Soleah is not motivated by anything, it's very frustrating.  IF we could
find something she really wanted, would could get her to do more (I think)


There's NOTHING NancI? Does she like to do anything in particular? Eat or
drink anything in particular? Does she like fans or beep noises or bells or
funny whoopy cushion noises? Something that you could use cause and effect
with...if she does something you ask her to do it makes the funny noise she
likes or plays the song she likes or turns on a fan or activates a toy???
Devon uses intellikeys at school and we've been told he likes leap pad
exercises/games...gotta get him one of those!!! His birthday is
coming...will have to get him that :o)

Love,
Penny...loving and devoted wife to Joe, the best husband in the world...mom
to Nick (13 yrs old...lover of Yu Gi Oh, RollerCoasters, Chocolate Icecream

or 7 year old male yellow lab adopted from FL Lab Rescue 12/13/02 :o)
