I’m sitting at the dining table. Mr6 is next to me, reading to me. I love that!
He’s chosen his favourite books.
Bears on Wheels by Stan and Jan Berenstain
Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman
and
Inside, Outside, Upside down by Stan and Jan Berenstain
He’s just finished the last page. We had a discussion about the text on the final page. Mr6 refuses to read the first line: “Mama! Mama!” His coping strategy (typical autism here) – he runs away if he’s made to read it. He always has. Today we talked about why. I thought that it was because the word is different to what we use at home: he calls me ‘Mummy’ not ‘Mama’. But no, that’s not it. He said that it was because if he said it, the mother bear should be answering, “Yes, yes?”
Interesting, hey! Well, I think so, at least 🙂
Have a great day, dear reader!
